Windy visualises only data from weather models like IFS (from ECMWF) or GFS (from NCEP/NOAA) and they are only able to provide a prediction 2 weeks ahead. These models are not seasonal or climate models. But these 2 centres have developed other specialised models for long term prediction however not used by Windy.
Here you can find some monthly predictions from ECMWF:

Here from NOAA:

Windy offers Dust forecast. But It’s a forecast, not a radar.

@ting1990
There has been an issue since last Friday evening to login the community forum. It seems to be fixed since Sunday evening.
Now that seems to have been fixed since Sunday evening.

As described by @Korina

@mtchtylr
So you would like a continuous loop for weather forecast same as that of Radar or Satellite layers.
I don’t think it is possible with the browser version or the app. But I imagine that the API could offer this possibility.
I guess you want the Wind forecast in loop on your monitor.

@adamant1
You are right, colors used for Wind don’t allow to discern easily the wind speed values.
You can modify the color scheme and customise the color scale as explained in this article:
https://community.windy.com/topic/10336/customize-the-color-scales-of-windy-layers?_=1620939556126

And you may try my own color settings to see if they are more suitable for you:

@literakl
You are probably talking about Rain accumulation. And 1m (or 1000mm) is not a mistake as explained here:
https://community.windy.com/topic/12502/bad-simbology-units-on-accumulated-rain-layer?_=1620937956224
You are right, the pink colour corresponds to a very wide range from about 100mm up to 1000mm and much more. It can be changed fortunately as explained by same link above.

@vsinceac
This site has radars everywhere including in the middle of the Atlantic ! Just a radar-like map from satellite images.

Windy make the choice to show only real weather radars...
BTW there are some weather radars in Iran, but I prefer that @meteo-windy-0 check if they are available and free by himself. Not just to say I want...

@meteo-windy-0
If there is no weather radar in these countries, how can Windy shows one?
But if you know free weather radar sources there, please let us know.

@rickquirino
There is no way to delete location from list of searched locations

I can’t say that these colours are difficult to read. Wind speed and towns are easy to read on the layer background.

If you have a problem with these reddish colours you can change them in Settings:

@carlosvps
First it should be nice that you say where you observe this bug.
Then have you tried to change the Radar loop settings i.e. the speed (turtle, rabbit, goat) and the length (12h, 6h, 1h) ?

@pavbin
As far as I know wind gusts are only available at 10 m high.
For ECMWF model, see § 1.1.5
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/plugins/servlet/mobile?contentId=131397377#content/view/131397377

Forecasters use to estimate the wind gusts with the averaged wind at 950 hPa (approx. 500m above surface). In high mountains that is more difficult to say.

@ronwnzl
You are right. I’ve checked on London (sorry I missed it). The 1h/3h rain forecast is not consistent especially on next Thursday.
There is probably something wrong. I’ve never seen such discrepancy before.

@ronwnzl
Are you sure that both Meteograms are from same update?
In addition it would be useful that you say where you observe them to allow checking.

@ronwnzl
Could be explained like that

@luiz-carlos-b
See explanation below because rain amounts below 0.1mm are not displayed:
https://community.windy.com/topic/12235/hourly-forecast-with-differences-to-standard-forecast?=1620664821379
https://community.windy.com/topic/12851/rain-forecasts-issue?=1620664821387
https://community.windy.com/topic/13054/hourly-rain-does-not-show-3-hour-rain?_=1620665143597

So it is not a bug.

@pavbin
Weather models are not very good at giving a direct temperature forecast in mountains. In particular global models but also the regional ones. This is due to their horizontal resolution and mainly to the coarse orography model that they include in their computation.
As example GFS shows these altitudes in its orography model.

This model cannot ‘’see’’ Mount Logan at its real altitude. Limited area models like NAM have generally a finer orography model. But that is not enough and in mountains the only way is to consider the temperature at different levels in free atmosphere as you do with Airgram.
In the Sounding you have posted you see that the ECMWF model considers Mount Logan at 3028m (model altitude) instead of 5858m. It cannot give the right temperature !
It would be useful that Windy shows the model altitude in Meteogram.
https://community.windy.com/topic/4657/reference-altitude?_=1620629583630

Meteoblue model called METEOBLUE AI has been developed in Switzerland to better integrate the altitude in mountain weather forecast. This is probably the reason why you get a better information with this model.

@vsinceac said in Which model is most accurate for Europe?:

but I still consider it interesting to better answer the main question in this thread.

How this site is interesting to answer the question of this topic? It does not answer at all.
Are you spamming only to keep Windy users out?
