Not exactly "local TV channel", but nice display of Windy.com from Gitana Team trying to break the record sailing around the world.

Hi @ivo.
Have you considered adding the new high resolution weather model ICON-D2 for central Europe? It’s the replacement for the COSMO-D2 model.

slightly bigger coverage then the COSMO, 2.1km grid, 1h steps, 27h, updated every 3h

Would love to see it on windy.com

Cheers.

Ok. Here is some more user feedback. 😊
For most outdoor activities/sports where wind or weather in general is important (that's why you have the alert function, right?), it makes more sense to have a no rain or max rain alert.

My wild guess would be it's just a very small minority of people who would activate an alert and say "ok, i'll just go out hiking/kiting/flying/sailing/fishing when it rains at least 5mm for three hours." 🤔

Might be different though for farmers and the like.

this is an amazing tool, @rittels !

i have no idea about aviation. but with a few changes this also has a big potential for the sailing/boating community as well.

first and most importantly for a nautical use let us choose a slower traveling speed (seems at the moment I can only choose 20kn or higher). I think half knots steps from 1 to 10kn would be a good start. :-)

then for a "sailor version" get rid of all the altitude settings to clean up the UI and take ground level as basic setting. also then change a few terms and abbreviations here and there to use proper nautical language. easy peasy, right? ;-)

again, awesome tool to play around with. thanks.

Start-up settings in the iOS app!

Please let me specify the start-up location (e.g.one of my favorites) when I open the app or click the home icon (little house) on the right.

Same question: How can I set up a specific location that I see when I press the „home button“ (the little house) in the iOS App? I do NOT want to use my current GPS-location.
As an extra, it would be nice to also adjust the zoom level in that „home“ view. Is that possible?

Yes, please add numbers for wind direction. Also in the detailed spot forecast and the compare screen. Though a graph would be even better.

it's been there for ages. just search for "windy" in the app store. it's not that hard. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/windy-com/id1161387262

Bump.

I also would like to set up one of my favorites as start-up location in the iOS app. This way I can see the forecast of my surf/kite/sailing spot instead if the place where I am (travel) during work hours.

It works in the browser version, please make it available in the app too!

Big thanks!!!

at fcoo.dk you can find a simple version of a routing tool where you can adjust boat speed and starting time. what is missing here though is the forecast in table form or even as a graph. i'm sure windy can go one better. :-) thanks for all the helpful tools!

A layer/plugin with data from www.openseamap.org would be nice indeed!

A Navionics layer would be great!

does anyone know a place where I can download the new ICON-D2 48h forecast grib files - preferably with a graphical user interface where I can select the area I'm interested?

any tips are much appreciated. cheers!

@Flachkurbler asked for ETA - ESTIMATED time of arrival. Are you working on it and will you release it in the next couple of weeks/months? Maybe in autumn? Or maybe by the end of the year? Or is that project not really on your focus and you will leave it for the next couple of years?

I guess we don‘t really need a „certain“ date but maybe just a rough idea where we are getting. Something to look forward to. 😄

Actually that also applies to most feature requests in this forum. Nobody will nail you down or give you a hard time if you give us just a ROUGH IDEA what your thoughts on the subject is. But the repetitive answer „we will consider it“ starts to sound like “we don’t really need any feedback anymore”.

That’s just my two cents on that feedback loop on feature requests here on the forum.
Other than that I really enjoy the app and the service it provides. Thanks heaps and keep going! Once ICON-DE is there I will support you with a subscription. 👍

@yves70 said in Please indicate fronts:

@becky4756
As explained by @idefix37, this is not possible.
As an alternative, you can use Humidity map at 700hPa with a specific color above 90%. This level of humidity will indicate a potential front. You can combine it with the temperature map at 850hPa to see the air mass with different temperatures indicating fronts as well

I’m not a programmer by all means, but it sounds as if an algorithm could do what you describe here, no? 😳

I really like the “Windy maps” app. I use it a lot while trying to find my way around.

One thing that would help a lot would be a satellite overlay, same as it is in the “Windy” app. Any chance that can be included at some point?

@ivo
what sort of time frame are we talking? from the outside it‘s so hard to judge how much time and effort goes into implementing a new weather model. is it an advantage that you already have the ICON Global and ICON-EU? Or is it a complete new beast you have to tame?
would be cool, to get some insights into your work. cheers.

@ivo 😇
Awesome! Can‘t wait! 👍

... and in case you didn't know the feature in your own app, here is an example of the weather forecast along a route. first screenshot shows the settings of the route planning. and the second one shows the weather along the route on the map.
