Thanks for your quick reply.

This model (arome, 2.5km grid then) is a must have for the paragliding community in france, as it is often the more accurate. It would be great if it could be implemented. I guess the lack of it prevent windy to become a complete source of weather forecast for our activity, and thus to become the uncontested leader on this purpose.

@dzuremar said in What source of weather data Windy use?:

@idefix37 Hello ! We use AROME with resolution 0.01° (1.3km). Both of the AROME resolutions have 00, 06, 12 and 18 ref time runs. There are also 03, 09, 15 and 21 ref time runs which we don't process. Advantage of AROME 0.025° (2.5km) is that it includes pressure-level layers. AROME 0.01° provides only surface-level layers, only wind and relative humidity are additionally in 20m, 50m and 100m altitude. However, AROME 0.025° also covers much smaller area - a square that covers whole France and a bit of surrounding area.

It seems that the AROME 0.025 now cover the same area as AROME 0.01. Is there any chance that Windy switch, or add AROME 0.025 to the supported models? The area of new icon D2 is quiet small either. The french paragliding community badly needs the pressure layers on the AROME model

Hi there,

Would be really usefull to have the altitude datas from arome available both in the interface and plugins. Is this feature planned to be implemented?

thx
