@Suty ok thank you for the update.

Hi @Suty, almost correct. I don’t mind it automatically switching to the global model because it’s handy to see that view. However as expected, this then becomes the overlay that “Use last overlay” saves when I close the app.
I do realise that if I return to the app after a short time (because the app hasn’t fully closed in the background), I’m still on the global model which is again ok. What I’d like to request please is that when I open the app several hours later after iOS has closed the app in the background (or a manual force close), the model defaults to UKV (or whichever model is specified in a new setting option).
Hope that helps.

@Korina @Suty
Unfortunately the method described to use the last overlay doesn’t permanently make UKV the default model when launching the app.

If for example I use temperature overlay along with UKV model and set “Start-up layer and location” as “Use last overlay”, force closing and launching the app does default back to UKV. However this default can easily be overwritten by simply zooming out on the map view which causes the model to automatically change to ECMWF on the map and within “Use last overlay”.

Is this inability to set a permanent default model linked to the difficulties you described in your previous reply to me? I can understand it would be difficult to do as a widget but what about within the app please?

I find the UKV model much more accurate than ECMWF and it’s frustrating always having to manually swap back to UKV within settings each time I look at a wider map view. As a new subscriber based in the UK this feature is quite important to me so 🤞🏻 you are able to find a fix for this.

Thanks in advance.

@Suty +1 from me too.

Is it possible to consider having a closer zoom level on the radar widgets please?

As seen below, the Weather&Radar widget has a better closer zoom than the maximum Windy goes to. I prefer the closer more detailed view when monitoring nearby rain and it would save me launching the app and manually zooming in each time.

Do you also plan to add the new Radar+ view for cloud and rain to the widget soon?

Thanks.

Thank you for the update and explanation, I wish you luck on figuring out the problem. 👍🏻

@Suty said in The UKV Met Office model is now available on Windy:

Hi @Walker998, there is no specific time period for the implementation of new models into widgets at the moment. However, we have this update in our plans.

Hi, I would just like to ask if you plan to add the UKV model to the hourly widget on iOS anytime soon please?
