Love the new nowcasting feature, but it would be great if there was a way to easily return to the most recent actual radar image (middle of the slider). For example, you could place a ‘detent’ in the middle of the slider so that it would snap in place when near, or possibility double-tapping the slider would return it to the ‘now’ position.

I would LOVE to receive alerts as push notifications!!!

Also, it would be great to set notifications for your 'current location' - not just for specific locations - so that as you move around alerts are relevant to where you actually are (i.e. when travelling).

Thanks for an absolutely amazing app!!!!

I think he means the one we just clicked on to read this post. I agree - once read it should go away.

Currently, lightning is combined with the radar layer. It would be great if lightning could be made an optional, standalone layer - just like pressure isolines - so that it could be combined with any other layer, such as radar, satellite, etc. This would be especially useful now that you have provided several other excellent thunderstorm tracking tools such as the infrared satellite later.

Would this at all be something you would consider?

Thank you very much for fixing this issue - v28.0.3 looks great on the iPhone 12 Pro!!!!

Also, thank you for the new iOS 14 widget!

Keep up the great work... 👍

Thank you for removing the banner!

Those losing their minds about the use of “girls” need to chill out. Windy is from Europe, where they still use common sense in regards to language - unlike here in North America, where many read into and sensationalize the smallest nuances of words to make a statement. There is no infringement on equality or rights to see here... move on.

Hello,

Those of us who have a long list of favorites have to push the “more” button at the bottom of the list that loads the next part of list. Just wanted to suggest that maybe loading the rest of the list could happen automatically when reaching the bottom of the list instead of having to push the button. This would streamline the use of the list for users with many saved favorites.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

@Ondřej-Šutera yes, turning that option back on fixes the issue; however, I prefer to have it selected off, so I’m glad to hear a fix is being worked on.

I use English language as well.

As the other users have reported, this wasn’t an issue until the latest update.

@Korina I agree, the banner needs to go. It’s fine if it’s there initially, but should disappear as soon as the article is read.

@Korina here’s a good example of how combining the lightning layer with the satellite IR layer is helpful in locating thunderstorms. This screenshot is from another product we use in the aviation world. I’d love to be able to get the same info from Windy’s far superior satellite resolution and interface!

The new version just released fixed the issue!! Thanks, @Korina!

I’m very excited about this and the ability to overlay lightning on satellite; however, I am not seeing the lightning layer at all now. Does it need to be activated somehow?

I have a followup question/suggestion to my previous suggestion of a standalone lightning layer:

Would it be possible to integrate satellite-based lightning data to extend the availability of lightning data to areas on the globe outside of radio range, i.e. the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

@Korina

Wow, thank you @Filip_K and @Ondřej-Šutera for getting this fixed so quickly! It looks great on my end now.

I am truly impressed by this amazing product you have created, and your dedication to continuous improvement. Thank you very much for all your hard work!!

@inAjet said in Windy brings a real-time global lightning strikes tracking:

Would you consider adding the ability to control the lightning layer separately from the radar/satellite layer? There may be times when you want to de-clutter the display and view radar/satellite data only, or view lightning data only to quickly locate the most active weather.

Any thoughts on this, @Ondřej-Šutera?

Hello,

I'd like to purchase my first personal weather station that provides basic temp/dewpoint/wind info and can be fed back into the Windy network. I'm fairly well-versed in the world of met, as it is a big part of my profession, but I am completely new to personal weather stations. Which product would the experienced users recommend for my case?

Cheers,

Chris

Hello,

It seems that METAR stations reporting an AUTO observation that does not include visibility or sky condition are being incorrectly labelled with LIFR conditions (see example below). I think they should be stripped of the label altogether and appear in the grey colour like non-METAR airports, as we really do not know the conditions at all and it can be misleading. Hopefully this can be corrected in a future update.

Thanks for this amazing feature and an outstanding product!!

Cheers,

Chris

Hello,

It would be great if, when scrolling through the forecast charts (i.e. basic, meteogram, etc.), there would be a shortcut to return to the current time - for example, a second click on the relevant forecast tab (basic, meteogram, etc.). In other words, if you're viewing the meteogram chart, clicking on the meteogram tab again would bring you back to the current time in the chart.

Thank you for an outstanding app!!

As already mentioned, I love the addition of the lightning data to the satellite layer. This is a powerful tool to further analyze the intensity of weather displayed by the radar and/or satellite imagery.

Would you consider adding the ability to control the lightning layer separately from the radar/satellite layer? There may be times when you want to de-clutter the display and view radar/satellite data only, or view lightning data only to quickly locate the most active weather.

Thank you for all your hard work to make this the most capable mobile weather platform on the market!!!

Lightning is not appearing on my iPhone only - no issues on the iPad. See the band of weather off the Carolina coast for a comparison in the attached screenshots. Note that the time stamp difference is due to the iPhone being in PST and the iPad in UTC; however, both screenshots are of the same time. This site won’t allow me to upload screen recordings, unfortunately.

There are no errors showing in the error console.
