    • Wind Chill

      Re: Wind chill feature?

      I do like how the data is displayed but feel adding a simple value of wind chill would add a lot of value in our sailing off-season. Where a number of free weather sites offer that data, it is somewhat annoying that the service we pay for can't present that basic calculation (using data already available).

      Your consideration for everyone who go outside in areas that fall below 0C, would be appreciated.

    • RE: Display hurricane tracks

      @anemoiventi

      I still think a predicted Hurricane Track layer would be very useful safety information with the forecasted date/time/wind speed/direction indicated or available. The data is presented by NWS (US) and ECCC (CA). Other weather apps have access to this information. Assembling this information via multiple layers is not an optimal process, and is an example of where technology can be used to effectively consolidate data and present it in an easy to interpret visualization (which Windy does so well in so many other ways!).
      Maybe the gap in seeing the value of this information being presented in this way is the while hurricane forecasts are critical decision making tools in very specific areas of the world, maybe these areas do not have the degree of representation by influencers or decision makers within Windy? Just wondering.

    • RE: New mobile version is here, how do you like it?

      I didn't have specific issues with the mobile version previously, but so far I like the new layout. One issue in the introduction above the comments I noticed a small typo. "... that fixes a lot of complains..." should read "... that fixes a lot of complaints..." :)

    • RE: Any chance we can get a wind chill layer?

      @jimerb I agree and appreciate the bump. Wind Chill temperature is very important in Canada as well. So much so that the federal government meteorological office (Environment Canada) has a section of their website dedicated to educating the population on Wind Chill with an explanation of why it is a public safety issue! There happens to be a table (in C) that could be used by Windy to perform the calculations!! Hint, hint!! :)

      Please add the overnight Low Temperatures forecasted to these 5-day forecasts. I definitely like to see what the highs are but knowing what the low temperature will be lets me plan other activities as well!
