I love windy but one thing I difficult with the interface is the black on red text for high wind speeds in the forecast. I also find the fact I can’t make the forecast section bigger on the app (ios) difficult.

Any chance you could adapt the text to change to a lighter colour when it is on the red background? I have some experience in User Interface design and this is what we usually do. It is not too hard to work out a good contrasting colour as the intensity of the background colour changes.

With thanks in advance,

Geoff

@gjbarton scrub that question. I managed to get it working by reinstalling the app then logging into it again.

I've just migrated to a new iphone. I can still access windy pro on my desktop, but not on the iphone. I am logged into the same Apple account on the new iphone as the old but when I try to restore purchase it says it can't find one.

What do I do to get windy pro working on my new iphone?

Many thanks.

@ivo OK thanks. It is nice to be able to see my data with your interface and there is a consistent way to get there.

One other thing though if I zoom in to the station (street map), the text that identifies it is nearly invisible (this is using Firefox web browser). If I click on the station identifier, the view then zooms out to give a broad view of Scotland.

Is this expected behaviour or just something particular to PWSs?

Thanks again for your help and for the superb Windy.com service with its fabulous graphics.

Geoff.

I also get this a lot when clicking on local stations... endless loading sighn.. Maybe having two stations close has broken something? The Airport and mine both reported fine last night when I first set up my pws to upload but it stopped overnight.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Interestingly, when you click on EGPN you get my station data not EGPN. Maybe they should shift ;-)

Seriously though, is there a minimum distance in lat/long/altitude between two stations on windy.com? I'm reluctant to fiddle with the reported lat/long for mine. I often compare to EGPN as the differences between the airport on the river (EGPN) and my station which is up the hill and in town are often interesting.


Last night (19th August 2019) I started uploading to Windy.com from my weather station in the West End of Dundee (www.dundeeweather.org.uk). Windy is showing my data but while last night my station showed up as one of the nearest in Dundee it now does not and there is a message saying it is a duplicate station.

We are close to EGPN but at higher altitude and have quite different local conditions since we are away from the very exposed river location that EGPN is in.

It would be nice if my station data could appear as an option to anyone looking at Dundee and also that it showed up in Searches for "Dundee West End".

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks,

Geoff.
