It does not seem possible

@WXcycles
Your second image is based on Wind accumulation, and Wind accumulation shows the maximum gusts forecast on the map during the week. So that’s gusts, while Dvorak analysis gives sustained winds /1 min. forecast...if I’m right.

You said that « the ECMWF model appears to be over-estimating its wind category ». But do you compare ECMWF gusts forecast with sustained winds /1min?
RMSC La Réunion forecast 70 to 80kt /10min. which is in line with the max 70kt Wind predicted by ECMWF.

@Praveen-Chandrasekaran
Unfortunately precipitation amount for a weather station is not available on Windy.

@galfert
Before carrying further search in Spain and trying to contact someone there, don’t you think that Windy developers should first check if the coordinates of these stations are wrong or correct in their database? And in any case it is not up to @pinchof to clarify this issue !

Hello François,
You ask me whether somebody will answer your question ? I do not know :)
Then you ask about the possibility to receive Windy via a satellite connection offering 100kbps.
Inmarsat Fleet One that is claimed to provide 100kbps is considered, by Inmarsat, as a broadband device to get internet at sea.

But to be sure I would prefer to ask a demonstration to a distributor or to contact the manufacturer. I’ve never used this type of equipment, so I can’t give you any assurance that it works, at least with Windy mobile app.
By the way your first question was about a low bandwidth device, which means for me a satellite phone or similar which allow only to receive GRIB files for weather forecast in addition to calls, sms, email, but no internet connection.

@emi-666
Do you use the website or the mobile app?
On website, click on More layer to show a webcam symbol which allow to display all webcams on the map.

In the mobile app, you find it in the menu

But I’ve never seen « live » images from these webcam on Windy.

@viviani-giovanni
It is not possible to display a grid of wind speed figures.The only way is to use the weather picker and to move it on the map.
If you are familiar with the Beaufort scale, you may also use the following settings of Wind:

I don’t think that the Iridium GO can give access to broadband internet and specially to Windy. Here are some information from Ground Control, a distributor of Iridium GO:
http://www.groundcontrol.com/Iridium_Go.htm#Internet
« At an advertised 2.5 Kilobits per second (1 Kbps realistically), the Iridium GO is not a solution to those looking for workable connection for normal Internet use ..... A single standard sized web page (with images) on average takes about 10 minutes to load... A connection to the Internet using the Iridium GO (also known as data minutes) are limited to authorized smartphone and tablet apps, so your existing apps on your device will unfortunately not work over the GO.... Our conclusion is that Internet access with the Iridium GO should be for those who are very patient, preferably with images turned off ». Windy being only animated images, I doubt that you could get it at sea.
You already use an Iridium GO, so try to get Windy with it and let us know !

@CptNemo
Hi Capt’n,
With the mobile App you have also the possibility to compare the forecasts of the models displayed by Windy. Just click as shown on these screenshots. They are from iOS app, I suppose it’s the same with Android app.

@rpickoff
These figures are the hours in a day in 12h format. In Settings, you can change it in 24h format if you prefer.
Forecasts change every 3hours.

@DaaBoss said in How can I access historical data?:

Rain ACCUMULATION for at least the past DAY.
This is one huge requirement that only seems like "history", and that is just trying to discover how much rain I got, even for the past few hours. We just had a huge front move through, and I had spread fertilizer out, and need to know if I should or should not add more water.

You know that rain or other parameters shown on Windy are forecasts but not observations. To know the right amount of rain you have got in your fields better to use rain gauge. Otherwise in case of convective rain you should be very disappointed.

@LexMAWeather
In iOS app, in the menu, select Reported wind or Reported temperature

You missed this thread:

@siim
Sorry you were just a little bit faster :)

@dzony85
Your UI is slightly different from mine. On your screenshot you are on the Radar layer, but I suppose that when you select Wind or Temperature the ECMWF logo will appear. Try to click on it...

@dzony85
On website, click on the clock:

to show information about selected model:

On the App, this information is shown below the list of models.

@seier100
Yes but that’s very difficult for the following reasons:

@kekert
Hi @kekert , sorry I’m not able to provide directly raw data base of weather buoys and ships. I use the NOAA/NDBC website to get detailed informations of stations at sea:
https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/

It gives full information on buoys and ships observations, but not directly as raw data. However via the search box, you can find several data bases like the one you have shown above. And this document that you may be know:
https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/docs/ndbc_web_data_guide.pdf

In the Atlantic most of Stations are buoys, and specially those identified by 5 digits as 41xxx or 44xxx. They are not ships for sure.
