An accurate tide forecast in our area is essential for competitive sailing and the Windy app does not provide this information. We can access today predictions from various other sources but it would be really good to have this info on your app. Our most accurate source of tidal data is http://www.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/EasyTide/ShowPrediction.aspx?PortID=0068C&PredictionLength=7
I expect each country has a similar source of data and I guess it would be a lot of work to get permission from every country - but well worth it for sailors, windsurfers etc...

Met Office forecast is missing
For those of us in the UK, it would be interesting to be able to access the Met Office forecast along with the other sources of data that you use. Do you have any plans to include the Met Office amongst your data sources? Those that you currently offer are excellent from a big picture global perspective, especially for long distance passage planning in a yacht but for a detailed local forecast in the UK, the Met office is still possibly the most accurate. It would be really interesting to be able to compare this source as well on your app.

RE: Would you like to receive Windy Alerts as push notifications to your mobile device?
Yes please. An alert on the windy icon and a banner would be useful
