Thought I open up a topic on this since I might not be the only one who loves to browse through the Windy map webcams.
Does anyone have a favourite webcam?
Here’s mine (at the moment, due to the winter scenery): https://honningsvag.kystnor.no/ / https://on.windy.com/625re
If you want to see loads of walruses,I can recommend this one:

Over to you, curious about other impressions!
And there are more.
I suspect this is someone spamming Windy.

Show indoor locations, no weather inside there.
This one has currently about 20° but the cam shows a lot of snow: https://on.windy.com/617r3 as well as this one https://on.windy.com/617rc
Here is snow in the gulf of Oman: https://on.windy.com/617rj
And a ski resort in Oman itself: https://on.windy.com/617rk

@korina No problem.
I can add any incorrectly located webcam to my main post about it (as you can see there is a list already).
Thanks for clarifying this. I really thought this was someone trying to guerilla-promote his own cams.
@korina Oh great.
That’s a nice feature.
I also discovered that recently visited webcams are flashing white. Another nice feature.
Thanks for the info!
When I see the webcam symbols on the Windy map, I can see them in grey, green and yellow.
What do these different colours mean?
As far as I could see there is no difference (e.g. live vs static image).

Is it actually possible to set the default layer in the Windy app to default to temperature instead of wind?
As wind is still displayed by arrows, it would make sense not to have it twice but see temperature as the colour layer.
Just haven’t been able to figure out how…
@fshelgeland As far as I can see it’s a streaming one even (77.110.201.5:88/#view).
There are streaming cams on Windy. So you could even upgrade it to a live streaming cam.
And there are more.

@bodoi It seems this is a wider problem.
Here is one that looks more like a mediterranean seaside town than one in Arabia https://on.windy.com/617pt
And here is snow in Jemen: https://on.windy.com/617q5
I just created a recent topic on mis-placed webcams.
Many of them are Angelcams but not all (https://community.windy.com/topic/18980/incorrect-webcam-locations)
Could it be that someone is trying to spam Windy with incorrect webcams?
Hi there,
I discovered a lot of mis-placed webcams.
They are mostly part of angelcam.com.
So you can find snow in Saudi Arabia, a Scottish council house in Timbuktu or similar things. Are webcams checked for plausibility? Below is a non-comprehensive list.
