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!!!
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.
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!
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
Sorry, I can`t seem to find out, but how do I set up push notifications on the iOS app? I much rather have my alerts in the app than filling up my email account.
@Tomber42 said in Windy launches "Observation vs. Forecast":
i don't like this new feature because it will be available on all weather stations..official and PWS. But what should the point on PWS? PWS are often not reliable..because they are not installed with the complicated rules for installing a weather station for meassure real! values. And then compare this PWS to the weather forecast? Useless imho...
What are those "complicated rules"? Can you explain, please?
If you don't like the PWS reports, then don't click on them. For some it might be helpful information though. Especially if you know where and how the PWS is installed you can evaluate the data for yourself. Maybe a photo of the weather station's location could help.
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?

@justinlimbo
ICON forecasts are already provided in hourly steps.
sorry, I meant the forecast on the bottom when you click on a location and the compare screen.
hi everyone. this has not really anything specifically to do with this website.
but since quite some time now i'm wondering about the following:
i'm living near the baltic sea with flat coastal landscape and lots and lots of wind turbines onshore and offshore. in order work properly (produce energy) every single one of those wind turbines has an anemometer and a wind vane which send live wind data not only to the unit itself but also to the owners computer. so there is software in place that sends live weather data off every single turbine.
does anyone know if there has ever been any thought of using these vast amount of live weather data for weather forecasting or weather/wind reporting? i'm sure that i'm not the first to think about it. and for sure there are bound to be a lot of challenges to create such a system or (better) integrate it into the existing weather forecasting/reporting systems.
i'm just excited by the idea and the potential of such a detailed/complete wind picture this would give, at least for the geographical areas with lots of wind turbines.
any thoughts, ideas, experience?
@petra-pik
any news on when this will be fixed?
is the data in the flag one hour ahead? or the data in the table one hour behind?
I recently subscribed for Windy premium. Works nice both on desktop (Mac Safari) and mobile (iPhone SE1) and I can now see all the models in 1-hour steps. Great!
The only thing not working in 1-hour steps is the "Basic" compare screen. Is that intentional or am I doing something wrong?
Speaking about it....
In my humble opinion the "Basic" compare screen would be way better if it were sorted not by forecast model but the parameter (similar to the "Wind" compare screen).
That way you would get rid of many duplicate rows (5x the name of day & hour) and white space and get a much better picture of the weater at a quick glance at the next couple of hours/days.
It would then be even better to display the data as a graph as already suggested here: https://community.windy.com/topic/11875/display-basic-forecast-in-graph-form
Thanks for your consideration.
Cheers.
@ivo
With the AROME model successfully implemented, do you guys have any intentions to include another global or european model at some point? Or are you more focused on other stuff to improve your already great site/app?
Same here. Would be good to be able to have isobars always turned on. (Latest iOS version, with latest Windy app version)
Hi @Korina . I'm with @boisvert on this.
I think the forecast could be displayed in a form that could be faster to read and understand. See the two screenshots for example. Both compare wind data of different forecast models for a specific location. First one is Windy, the other one is from meteoblue.com. Hard to argue against, in my opinion. ;-) So, please consider displaying wind data as a graph, too.
One suggestion to even improve the example from meteoblue would be to be able to select a specific forecast model and see it as highlighted graph. That way I could quickly see that (for example) the black graph is ECMWF and green is GFS and so on.
Great app anyway!! Keep going!! :-)
@Korina
can you show us a screenshot of how the interface looks like for a point forecast and the compare screen? Much appreciated. Thanks.

In Windy Premium will the forecasts of the ICON-EU, Arome and NEMS models also show hourly steps? or just the ECMWF-forecast? any screenshots available for the COMPARE-screen? thanks!
