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

RE: How to setup an alert for *no rain* ?
Ok. Here is some more user feedback. đ
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." đ€
Might be different though for farmers and the like.

Adding new ICON-D2 model
Hi @ivo.
Have you considered adding the new high resolution weather model ICON-D2 for central Europe? Itâs the replacement for the COSMO-D2 model.slightly bigger coverage then the COSMO, 2.1km grid, 1h steps, 27h, updated every 3h

RE: windy-plugin-fp
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.

RE: How do I change my home setting?
Same question: How can I set up a specific location that I see when I press the âhome buttonâ (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 âhomeâ view. Is that possible? -
RE: Propose a NEW LAYER / FEATURE You'd like on Windy
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.

RE: Windy launches Route Planner
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!

RE: Will Windyty app ever be published to iOS?.
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

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

RE: Saved Location on startup with Iphone app
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!!!

Please include a satellite map?
I really like the âWindy mapsâ 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 âWindyâ app. Any chance that can be included at some point?

RE: Adding new ICON-D2 model
@ivo
what sort of time frame are we talking? from the outside itâs 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. -

RE: Which weather model in Windy maps?
... 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.

RE: Which weather model in Windy maps?
Hi @korina. I'm stunned. Of course there is a forecast in the Windy Maps app. Just click anywhere, open the pane for that location and scroll down. You can open expand the weather info from the simple weather icon and temperature to the more detailed forecast when clicking on the little "down arrow" on the right.

Which weather model in Windy maps?
Which model is used to show weather forecast for a spot or when you create a route in the Windy Maps app?

RE: Crazy webcams
@Korina
Can you delete this useless webcam as well? https://on.windy.com/4fkk3There is a better one at the same location. https://on.windy.com/4fkkk
Can you rename it to something like "Kriegers Flak, FINO 2, Wind Farm Baltic2". The current name is misleading. -
RE: Track Vendée Globe progress on Windy.com
your plugin gets better and better. thanks for that, @kbsali.
any chance you can display the course and relative position of the course record of Armel Le Cleac'h in 2016/2017 and maybe even the one of François Gabart in 2012/2013?

RE: Track Vendée Globe progress on Windy.com
thanks for the great plugin, @kbsali.
any chance you can show the routing of ALL boats when I move the date slider forwards?
