@vsinceac Haha, that's hilarious.

I'm searching for a proper way to map the 'raw' values from the Forecast API to a visual icon, just like: https://www.windy.com/img/icons6/png_25@2x/19.png

I assume this mapping requires multiple inputs: precipitation, lclouds, mclouds, hglouds, and perhaps also others. But I do not know enough about weather to implement this myself properly.

Can someone provide me a hint of where to look? Perhaps there is existing code that does this, or maybe there are other useful resources.

Thank you in advance.

@idefix37 Thank you for you reply. That is good to know. Is there a way to also get this hourly GFS forecast through the Windy Forecast API?

@korina How does Windy itself manage to show the 1-hour forecast in the table on Windy.com? When Googling a bit, I see for example that GFS does not provide a more fine-grained forecast than 3-hourly: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/model-data/model-datasets/global-forcast-system-gfs

@korina Hi Korina. Thank you for your reply. I've already started testing around, and couldn't find a way in which to achieve this. In the docs I also couldn't find this.

I was wondering if it's possible with only using the Map API, because the Picker allows similar functionality, but not exactly what I'm looking for: I want to get the wind data of more than 1 point in the plotted map.

@dmast To be clear: I would like to do this using the Map Forecast API. So from Javascript. The locations I'm interested in are all within the bounds of the map shown.

Re: Get wind data of a location

I would like to retrieve wind data of a couple of locations.

I am aware of the picker functionality. However, I do not want to show the user a picker. With a picker I can only retrieve the wind data in the callback method after the 'pickerOpened' event is triggered.

I want to get the wind data of a couple of different locations and use them programmatically. Is this possible without the event-based picker?

Thank you in advance.
