Yes, good reminder. And nice to see it being tracked in Windy too of course:

Thanks! :)

I'm not sure that this is Windy actually (unless it has been customised) - the fonts, colours, and small details look a bit different:

Yes I don't have any widget available either. Im using Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 6, and Nova Launcher.

The widget simply doesn't appear in the list.

Is it because you can’t display several warnings in one region?

I don't have a complete answer for you, but multiple warnings in a particular zone/region are actually displayed - only one colour still, but multiple icons if you are zoomed in - and you can even see this in your screenshot where the green colour scheme around Zermatt shows icons for both wind and rain.

Among others I'm mostly following these channels for the Route du Rhum:

• World on Water (sailing channel, english): https://www.youtube.com/user/mobydk2/videos

• Gitana Team, Ultim Tri (sailing channel, french/english): https://www.youtube.com/user/gitanateam/videos

Unfortunately much destruction has already been suffered by the leading boats, with multiple retirements due to damage.

In general Windy is now everywhere, used on many many maritime related news videos, especially across europe.

Regarding the damage to yachts in Rapallo, Liguria, Italy, yes it was caused by the sea.

Strong waves pounded the outer sea wall (breakwater) until a large section collapsed.

Thereafter the sea simply ran over and into the port and the now unprotected yachts didn't stand a chance.

A thread in another forum contains multiple links and videos for anyone that is interested:

I do have two first up questions:
1/ Does the warning regions extend into the southern hemisphere? From what I have seen recently, the only regions highlighting warning outlooks are across the northern hemisphere. I like the weather here in Australia, but I would have thought there would be some warning thresholds met for the southern hem.

Today I do see some warnings in the southern hemisphere:

• A small craft advisory for wind in the Solomons (Sender: Solomon Islands Meteorological Services)

• A small craft advisory for swell in Samoa (Sender: none)

Other warning sources (picked at random) come up as follows, so it looks like the individual met office is responsible for sending this data to whatever central source(s) that Windy is using:

• Sender: NWS Glasgow MT
• Sender: NWS Seattle WA
• Sender: AGENCIA ESTATAL DE METEOROLOGIA
• Sender: Italian Air Force National Meteorological Service
• Sender: ZAMG Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics
• Sender: Гидрометцентр России
• etc

@developers
I think you must keep the green colour code for areas with no sign. weather
(No special awareness required)
cause now we don't know if a "gray" colour means
"no awarness required" or "no data".

Yes I agree. To be absolutely clear (especially when looking at a large area overview like I posted above) it would be be good to have 2 more colour schemes:

• No Warnings reported
• No Data available

but... Very Good work so far Windy Team!

@developers

Can the 'Colourize by type of danger' toggle button setting please be added to the URL string?

I would like to save a favourite in my browser and go directly to my preferred view.

Thanks :)
