@idefix37 JMA was the first place I went to regarding researching models for Japan. LFM has only 10 hours of forecast so I was thinking more about using MSM.
Final choice depends on demand though, as LSM has much finer grid (2km vs 5km of MSM)

@gavin-q Consider picker just a preview tool, detail forecast is much more precise. When zooming, for example, picker data change quite a lot as different data tiles are used.

Example (speed and direction changes):
closest:

further away:

Hi @lexolutha, ACCESS model on windy is ACCESS-G (about 12km resolution):

ACCESS-C (1.5km resolution) is separated by region (VT is Victoria/Tasmania, SY is Sydney and so on):

@Flachkurbler I believe most of the setting you mention are stored in the URL so saving them as bookmarks might work (on PC or mobile browser).
Here are the layers and settings you mention:

1. pressure with pressure lines over Europe: https://www.windy.com/-Pressure-pressure?pressure,45.352,11.843,5,i:pressure
2. temperature at 700hPa with pressure lines over Europe: https://www.windy.com/-Temperature-temp?700h,temp,45.352,11.843,5,i:pressure
3. cloud coverage from ICON-D2 model over Alps: https://www.windy.com/-Clouds-clouds?iconD2,clouds,47.528,13.552,7
4. wind from ICON-D2 at 1500m (850hPa) over Alps: https://www.windy.com/?iconD2,850h,47.528,13.552,7

Hi @magzan, as @David-Polášek mentioned, there was a bug with displaying precipitation type of Aladin model. The fix was deployed yesterday and it should not happen anymore.

Hi @WX-OM, yes, we are examining the data and we want to start them using as soon as possible. Since it became available only from yesterday, there is no exact date when we will use them.

Hi @Ken, You are right, we're currently using only 36 hours from the forecast because all runs are at least 36 hours long. We might use full 42 hours from 18z run in the future, but I unfortunately can't give You any estimate.

@Skip-Freedom According to Copernicus, forecast data is expected to be back up and running by next Tuesday; on 2022-12-13

@idefix37 There is something seriously wrong with merging AROME and ECMWF. Notice that after 5 days (that's when forecast step of ECMWF changes from 1h to 3h) forecast goes haywire. It is more visible with 1h forecast, but 3h forecast is wrong too. Multiple days (notice temperature going up and down - "red hills") get mashed up into one. We will investigate and fix this, thank you for the report.

1-hour step

@Wojciech-Dobrowolski The scale is non-linear and pink color in default scale corresponds to 500mm. See color settings for rain accumulation below

Unfortunately, Copernicus prolonged data outage. No exact date is given, only that data should be back by end of December. We will monitor the situation and get forecast back ASAP

@502893 We have disabled weather radar in Cuba that gives false positive readings almost constantly

I see. The *_best_track.kmz (which is our primary source for hurricane tracks) is unfortunately updated quite late. As you mention, around 3h late. I'll look into this to make sure we get as up-to-date data as possible. Thank you for noticing this

@Lmacm Weather radar on Shannon Airport is being replaced. Outage is expected to last until autumn 2023: https://www.met.ie/met-eireann-is-replacing-the-weather-radar-at-shannon-airport

This feature will be available in one of the coming releases soon

@silver-b Thank you for reminding us. For some reason, our data provider for UK and Ireland doesn't have data from this radar yet. I have contacting them requesting further info.

I will keep you updated

Hi @stitch, we're using 10fg3 for forecast hours 0-144 and 10fg6 from forecast hour 150 further. That is how these parameters are available. Values for 1h step are linear interpolation of those 3h or 6h values.

Hi @Vejovaldovas, the screenshot you provided is from "Settings", not from the top level of menu where section "Display on map" is located

@anthony10
Sea temperature is not very exciting to look at. It seldom changes more than 2˚C in a range of 15 days
