If you mean this pretty harbour on Sandön island, you are right, it is not possible to find it using the search bar. You find other places in Sweden with the same name, but not this one. This is very strange because it is possible to find it in OpenStreetMap which is used as names base by Windy, if I am right. And furthermore it is possible to find this location on Windy Maps !

To see detail of Jet Stream, just adjust the altitude slider at 300hPa (9000m) or 250hPa (10000m). The wind field shows the high speed of Jet Stream.
Windy maps on Ouest-France website. They use often Windy map, this time for the storm Miguel which is predicted tomorrow on french coasts.
They show 5 maps from Windy in this article.

CEPMMT means ECMWF in french.
Large commercial vessels use poorly refined heavy fuel containing sulfur compounds. These boats release large amounts of sulfur dioxide SO2 which is a source of acidification for the environments (oceans, forests ...). Due to local regulations on the US coasts, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the English Channel, these vessels must switch locally to a more refined fuel with a limited content of sulfur compounds, similar to the diesel fuel. Elsewhere they can use this heavy fuel, even in the Mediterranean where there is a lot of traffic.
In addition to SO2, these ships produce a lot of nitrogen oxides, such as NO2, to the point that coastal areas may become highly polluted areas. One can imagine pollution in cities with car traffic or near certain industrial sites. But at sea, people think that the air is clean, which is not the case everywhere.
The Windy maps that present these pollutants, SO2 and recently NO2, speak for themselves: they make it possible to highlight and monitor this pollution along the trade routes of the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean ... The comparison of these traces of pollutants at sea with the main shipping routes shows an obvious correlation.
However, these big boats remain the least expensive and even the least polluting means per ton of freight transported. If it were necessary to transport the same quantities of goods by truck, plane or even diesel train, the pollution would be worse!

On website, you can save the page URL with your preferred model as bookmark and then open Windy with it. But this is not possible with the mobile app.
Why do tropical cyclones (or TRS if you prefer) follow generally a curved track, first westerly then northerly and finally easterly in the Northern Hemisphere, and symmetrically in the Southern Hemisphere ? Here is an explanation in simple words :
http://www.applet-magic.com/hurricanerecurve.htm
More simply, tropical systems move globally to the west with a small component towards the poles. A weakness may appear in the subtropical belt of high pressures in connection with the formation of a trough; at this point the tropical system can bend its trajectory towards the pole and then towards the east with the westerly flow of polar depressions.
@Gkikas-LGPZ
Thanks, that’s interesting.
BTW have noticed Windy screens at 15:03 and 15:24 in Akureiri University - Iceland ?
@Gkikas-LGPZ
Seems to be very interesting. But I was at sea and it was not possible for me to see this documentary. I’ll try to find a replay of it.
Many thanks for the info !

In the menu, touch Settings > Customize color scale > Select overlay > Cloud base > add or remove levels of cloud bases. Then Save.

Bonjour, l’échelle des couleurs pour chacune des couches est au coin bas droit de l’écran pour le site windy.com et au bas de l’écran pour l’application mobile. Les unités utilisées apparaissent sur cette même échelle. Vous pouvez changer les unités dans Réglages/Paramètres.
Until now it was only possible to display Geopotential isolines from ECMWF model. That was not possible with GFS. Today these isolines work perfectly with these 2 models ! Many thanks for the repair !!
Even more it works with ICON too. But instead of levels expressed in metres, they seem to be in decimetres, ....or if they are in metres that corresponds to stratospheric altitude :)
At 500hPa, Geopotential heights are around 5500m.
With ICON layer, figures are around 55000 ??
By the way Geopotential heights (isohypses) are often in decametres (dam) and 5500m=550dam.
And now a nice future feature would be to add a Geopotential height layer, not only as isolines.
@cloudnut
Hi, which model do you use? There is may be one of them which gives better results for temperature.
Touch Compare :
There is a weather station in Cuenca. If you compare the reported temperature with those forecasted it seems that the model of Meteoblue is the best for your location.

Until last year, a 3D map was available on Windy in addition to the Mercator projection map. Unfortunately it has been removed. At least a polar projection map would be a good solution for high latitude weather.

Salut,
There is no real guide to explain how to use this App.
You can get information via this link

A member created a user guide some time ago

But it has not been updated since that time.
