Hi @Korina

• Are all the 4 time updates (every 6 hours for ECMWF) directly coming from ECMWF?
  or, ECMWF provide updates to windy.com 2 times daily?
  After that you make 4 times from their data?

I am asking, because ECMWF was working fine in the last year while I was in free user. But I subscribed as a premium user to get more accurate data.

But unfortunately I am very unhappy and most of the time forecast are not matching.

Please answer my questions in the above. If this continuously happens I will unsubscribe from the premium.

Thanks

Hi, @Korina @gkikas-lgpz

PLEASE DO NOT SKIP OR IGNORE ANY QUESTION.

I'm struggling to read the values of thunderstorm layer. There's no official clear documentation.

Would you please answer some questions regarding thunderstorms?

1) How do I know which value is strong/moderate or light from the thunderstorm layer?

2) Suppose, for 3 hour period (for example: 12am-3am) thunder data is 1.33 l/km2. Is the value only 12am to 3am (3 hour) period only? If not then how can I read the data for which time period? Because for every 3 hour period it shows different data.

3) How do you calculate this formula?

4) Where is the official documentation?

Please clarify everything. It's so confusing to understand how the formula works.

Thanks

Hi, @Korina @idefix37

Is it possible to get direct link of any location with specific date and time?

For example,

• A location name: Myanmar
• TIme and date: 28 August 2021, Time: 16:00Z (UTC)
• Link found: https://www.windy.com/-Thunderstorms-thunder?thunder,2021082809,19.873,96.498,8,m:efgaiPZ

But when I paste the above link individually in a browser tab, it redirects to the current date and time in timeline with the following link: https://www.windy.com/-Thunderstorms-thunder?thunder,19.873,96.498,8

My question is, can I get a link which will not redirect?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Please let me know.

Hi, @Korina @jmatthys @idefix37
Hope you are doing well.

I don't understand how rain animation works with the rain values in mm.

For example, in the rain,thunder layer, "rain animation" is SHOWING for 1.8 mm, 2.2 mm. But rain animation not showing for 3.1 mm.

Very strange? Why rain animation not showing for 3.1 mm?

Can you please help?

@korina

Free User: 3 hours interval means: 3pm to 6pm (for example)

Premium User: 1 hour interval means: 3pm to 4pm (for example)

Am I correct based on the above example? Do you mean that?

I thought all layers in the map updated every 3 hours intervals and all data displayed in RH PANE updated every 12 hours for FREE users.

Thanks

@idefix37 @Korina

Then what is the meaning of "3 Hour forecast"?

Where 3 hours forecast is applied?

Please explain. I am still confusing.

I thought rain layer is updated separately every 3 hours.

@idefix37 @Korina

As per the screenshot, is the rain animation updated 3h 34m ago?

Thanks

@idefix37 said in Live layer vs data set update time:

the actual update

My question was totally different.
Please check screenshot.

Map's rain animation is coming from 12 hour updated data?

For example, At 3pm it show rain 3.4 mm in the RH PANE.

In the map rain ANIMATION represents 3.4mm?

For free user,
@Korina @idefix37 @jmatthys
I know the data set in RH PANE updated every 12 hours.
But when the live pages (e.g. "rain, thunder") is updated?

Is it live or it has different update schedule?

Thanks
