    • RE: New sounding with radiosonde measurements

      And another issue with resetting. When you click somewhere on the map it resets the position of the map so that the clicked location is in the centre. This is a problem if you click near the edge of the areas of a particular model, because the map recentres on the point, then the model switches to another model because it considers the view to be outside the range of what is applicable for that model.

      For example, choose ICON-D2, sounding, then click on Gloucester in the UK. The map scrolls so that Gloucester is in the centre of the non-sounding part of the map, then the model switches to ICON-EU. (I think it is using the centre of the whole screen - including the portion of the map that is hidden by the sounding pop-up - to determine whether the model can be used. So you have two inconsistent definitions of centre.)

    • RE: New sounding with radiosonde measurements

      It would be good if the zoom/scroll of the sounding window didn't reset either. This makes it hard to compare soundings for different spots. (As a paraglider pilot, I want to be able to look at the soundings for different parts of the country to help make a decision which site to go to.)

    • Time slider on mobile is innacurate

      When you drag the time slider to, say, 15:00, you may get shown the data for 15:00 or 16:00 depending on exactly how far you slide it. Looks like a basic rounding error to me where the data for the position of the slider is rounded to the nearest hour in two different ways, one for text display on the slider, and two to decide which data to display on the map.

      Very easy to reproduce and has existed as long as I can remember using Windy, so I'm not sure why it hasn't been noticed by the developers unless there's something more subtle going on.

      New sounding, great.

      Small bug. When clicking on the map the layer gets reset to temperature instead of whatever was previously selected, eg "forecasted weather".

    • On Firefox desktop, mobile view is shown

      Since today, when viewing windy.com on my laptop with Firefox (Ubuntu 21.10), the mobile version of the page is being shown. The mobile version doesn't work on desktop since it requires touch interactions which the mouse seems not to trigger. This is despite deleting all cookies and clearing the cache. Same on private window. Same logged out. On Chrome, the desktop version of the page is correctly shown.

      Have you recently changed a version-detection string regex perhaps?
