I would like to see Windy desktop add the capability to split screen into two windows side by side, each displaying a different layer but for the same time, location and magnification.
For example, weather radar on the left and satellite IR on the right, as shown below.
I would like to suggest that Weather Radar playback be extended to 2Hr from the current 1Hr duration to match the duration of current satellite image playback (all 2Hrs). This makes it easier to study correlation of precipitation patterns with cloud patterns.
Please update reported temperatures/winds whenever whatever layer that is on display is updated.
Currently, reported temperatures shown on Windy stay unchanged and I have to manually refresh the Windy window to get them updated, or change to displaying reported winds and then back. Many times I forgot to manually update them before saving the satellite images and wind maps the next day, which spoiled the saved images.
For instance, if I leave the orange colored circle on the right end of the horizontal time slider slot at the bottom of satellite image layer or weather radar layer, the displayed image will update itself whenever new data is available, but the reported temperatures/winds never do. I would like the latter to update as well.
At 600hPa there're gray shading boxes indicating cloudiness (my best guess). But the dew point is 23 degC below atmospheric temperature.
@hangInThere
Here's one that has an opposite problem--where (~475hPa) the dew point is very close to atmospheric temperature it's not marked out as highly cloudy--in addition to the aforementioned problem :

I would add that ice water path (IWP) is critical indicator of huge lasting rains in the tropics. South Korea's GK2A geostationary weather satellite captured images and derived products are provided on Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA)'s website: https://nmsc.kma.go.kr/enhome/html/satellite/viewer/selectSatViewerEnhome.do?dataType=gk2a#
Below screenshot shows the huge ice clouds over South China Sea just off Vietnam and off Malaysia. Next screenshot shows Windy's weather radar layer over SCS. In comparison, there isn't much in Liquid Water Path (LWP).

What is the current 12hr satellite image time resolution? I can get 10 mins resolution from Korea meteorological department for up to 18hrs to look at East Asia and Southeast Asia. I remember Windy's 12hr satellite image sequence was rather jerky with animation turned off. I turn off animation in order to examine cloud flows closely. This becomes very difficult to do on the low altitude clouds when they are overlapped by patches of higher altitude clouds and they can only be seen in the gaps between the latter but their motions become impossible to discern when the time resolution is much more than 10 mins. So before I pay for the premium subscription I would like to know what I will get.
Another question, what is the difference in subscriber obligation btwn the one-time purchase and the annual subscription? Can one cancel the annual subscription after say two years?
BTW, this is a great service, and I believe in paying for a good service that I use everyday to derive benefits from, especially for the unbelievably low price that it is charging. Just my personal opinion. Other users can have their own.
@Ondřej-Šutera
Will the developer look into reproducing the TCON error the the 1 April 2023 noon radiosonde graph for Singapore Changi Airport to find and correct the error at the root?
I would like to request adding a button to save snapshots of all altitudes of the wind maps to files named after a user given prefix and timestamp and altitude label. I do this several times a day in order to manually archive the altitude wind maps besides video recordings of the satellite images and weather radar images. It's very, very time consuming.
@Filip_K All Malaysia's radiosonde data were not updated today.
@Gkikas-LGPZ @Suty @Filip_K The faulty reading apparently comes from a ship at the Sultan Mahmud Airport. :-) Please permamently blacklist it out from Windy database.
See snapshot from mobile app. No but I can't drag & drop the snapshot. This website now says I don't have enough privileges for this action. Windy is buggy everywhere you turn. So please just replicate my action in Windy app, turning on the temperature markers and moving the map till Kuala Terengganu appears under the cross hair, and the identify of the faulty reading will show up.
@Suty The fix is very unstable. After importing custom color list, it works well for a while, and out of a blue reverts to yet another custom color list, and later reverts to default color list and stays this way forever.
See screenshots below. The temperature marker for Kuala Terengganu (Malaysia) shows 16degC, whereas the full temperature history chart shows 29degC.
@Suty Please revert back to the previous working version if these bugs cannot be fixed today.
Normal software development practice is to run regression to verify the new version does not break things before release. Since apparently this didn't happen here, now ending up involving your clients in your "externalized" regression test, the right thing to do is to retract this broken version to put a stop to the disruption to your clients until you have run thorough internal regression tests and cleaned it up.
@Filip_K Can you urgently look into this Color-Scale-unable-to-edit problem? It's a big problem for me too. Besides, when entering the Menu->Settings->Colors from Satellite layer, the main window switches automatically to Wind layer and remains so after Exit, necessitating an otherwise unnecessary selection to switch back to Satellite.
@Filip_K The mobile app always had the 14-day archival ascent data. It's what I had been using always, until the major revision of Windy Android app in 2024 wiped it away. So, if you look into your Android app before that major revision, the codes must be reusable. Try 'grep ascents -r' from the top of the code directories.
@Filip_K It just came back. Can you do the same for the mobile Windy?
@Filip_K Now the archival radiosonde data is gone from the desktop Windy too! Can you please restore it? And on the mobile Windy as well?
(4) Ah, I see, it's still there in desktop browser. I just checked again, not on mobile browser nor Android app.
