Meteorologists ...

@WXcycles
The "orange cloud" is a Cumulus castellanus.
Cumulonimbus is the cloud in back (looks like an anvil).

@WXcycles
according to http://www.globalfloods.eu/glofas-forecasting/

@LLXC
ECMWF data are not free.

Windy already pays a lot for ECMWF 00Z and 12Z runs
and provides those datasets to us with no cost and ads free.

A change in the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) planned for June this year
will enable ECMWF to use more up-to-date weather observations
to help define the initial conditions for its forecasts.

This shift towards more continuous data assimilation
will significantly improve the quality of forecasts,
which depend on the accuracy of the initial conditions.

... 8 days left ...

here you can find the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS)
http://www.globalfloods.eu/glofas-forecasting/
The flood severity for the area is very high
(purple indicates probability to exceed a 20 year return period).

@WXcycles
here you can find high resolution images for the area.
https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playground/?source=S2&lat=-19.722756810828194&lng=34.72297668457031&zoom=10&preset=1-NATURAL-COLOR&layers=B01,B02,B03&maxcc=20&gain=1.0&gamma=1.0&time=2018-09-01|2019-03-14&atmFilter=&showDates=false

They are images in a "Google-like" resolution and are updated every day.
After "Idai" passage will have a clear vision of the flooded areas.

@Tomber42
I prefer this one, as "anemos" means windy (in Greek) :)

Please add the emblem (shield) for the Hellenic (Greek) Meteo. Service.

@WXcycles
Keep in mind that wave model has a 13 km resolution (WAM) or even 22km (wavewatch).
When you zoom a lot, wave heights are not so accurate.

@Kate-A
GFS, ICON and AROME models update every 6 hrs.
https://community.windy.com/topic/3340/when-and-how-often-are-the-weather-data-updated

ECMWF, also, runs 4 times a day
but the cost increases a lot for these extra runs (06 and 18Z).

@reisfor
Lightning data come from blitzortung.
WX radar data from national meteo. services, shown if you zoom in a country
e.g. DWD for Germany

@reisfor
For the source of forecast data (model), press the "clock" symbol

@Tomber42
Windy already has these data!
Wind chill index is the outcome from a mathematical formula that involves temperature and wind speed. Those data already exist in Windy's datasets.
The same for heat index (temperature and rel. humidity).

... the straight line from (A) to (B) shows that no other level (from 300 hPa to 200 hPa) is taken into account.
