Windy is a weather forecast app. I don’t see any benefit to show vessel AIS data on Windy, as ships positioning has no connection with weather/atmosphere/ocean. There are many websites which provide these data, including those you have included in your post. And I am not sure that these ships doing illegal fishing do broadcast their position via AIS when they fish in illegal areas. We know that most of them turn off their AIS equipment to be out of range.
I agree with you that these bandit ships from Asia are devastating the ocean ressources.

There is no update more frequent than 12h for ECMWF on Windy

From last year, ECMWF make available 4 runs per day, but this is for users under special licence conditions : They are Weather Services members of ECMWF which use the IFS model as boundary for their own limited area models:

You may use GFS which is updated 4 times per day.

Today, same temperature inversion in the morning. With a comparison of temperature at Geneva airport weather station.
The 9km resolution of the ECMWF model does not allow to show this local effect.

Sorry there are 30 minutes between these 2 screenshots which explains the 2°C difference at WS.

@Cisco28678
Why are you surprised ? Because of the « 3ft » ?
That’s possible to get 3ft of rain in 10 days. See this dramatic flooding 2 weeks ago in Queensland. (Rainfall are in metric in this example. 1m=1000mm is about 3ft)

@brayhi
I don’t think there is a way to choose the number of days shown in the time slider

Under each town, Windy shows the forecast temperatures by the selected model.
But when selecting AROME, these figures are the same as those displayed with ECMWF. And so they are different from the temperature layer and picker flag. This is not consistent and would need to be changed.

Btw AROME shows this morning a beautiful temperature inversion. The temperature at the altitude of lake Léman (also called lake Geneva) at 450m is near 0°C when the surrounding mountains at 1500m show mild temperatures of 10°C and more.

@virga
It should possible in a near future:

@kdwilliamson
Apparently, Windy base map is from mapy.cz
This map which shows elevation in meters is not a development from Windy. So I doubt they could change for feet.

@molson57
You have it already on Windy !
What is jet stream? High speed winds which are observed at 300hPa or 250hPa altitude. So just use the Altitude slider with the Wind layer at one of these level. .

@dzuremar
OK it’s much cleaner now.

You may help to translate Windy in Norwegian

@joepaone
The app called Windy City has nothing to do with Windy which is a weather forecast app !

@Rebenaque
There is no possibility to check past weather on Windy

@Gary-Brian
These weather stations are probably Personal Weather Stations (PWS). Until now this type of weather station is not used by Windy, except those part of the MADIS network. But in a near future it will possible to add PWS.

Drawing warm and cold fronts is roughtly based on temperature map at 850hPa only. You may try it and compare with official weather service charts.
This map is for Thursday 14 feb. 12:00 UTC

@jmh2002
Yes you are right. I see many « Screen recorder » app. May be this kind of app could be added as a plugin?
During the recording you can move the map to follow your planned route and/or move the weather picker according to this route.

Hi Felix,

Here are the reasons why Windy have not developed a solution when user is offline:

https://community.windy.com/topic/6601/offline-use-of-windy

But I agree with you, keeping in memory 5 or 6 days forecast on a limited area would be good solution. I doubt it would be a problem with the licence agreement... (On the other hand, I understand that dispatching GRIB files may be a licence problem)
I use to make a video of the screen when the time slider is moving (this feature is available on iPad). So it keeps all details, step by step, and when viewing it, you can stop it when you want. But all devices do not offer this possibility. .
