You know that Windy is just visualizing Weather models developed by leading weather centers. I don't think they have recently changed dramatically their models.
Making a comparison between observation and forecast at this official weather station, there is not a very big gap concerning the wind.

The discrepancy could be due to local wind conditions that global models cannot predict (only high resolution local models can do it)
You can use the tool "Observation vs forecast" and test different models:

In addition, Wind is the averaged wind and should not be confused with gusts.
