as soon as I start the distance & planning tool, this plugin shuts off and all navigation aids are gone. is there a way to prevent this behaviour from the plugin side? or is this a "windy problem"?

can this be added to the plugin menu to get faster access to the plugin?

works nicely, thanks @Mufac !

I kind of like the idea and I think I did make this suggestion before somewhere on this forum. I can imagine it to be an interesting aspect for a better real world weather visualisation.
Of course it’s not something to look at with a low zoom level (from far away). But with a medium or big zoom level, why not?

In the settings there is a slider for wind animation speed. There got to be some numbers behind this UI. So why not make the lowest speed on the slider the “real wind speed”? Can’t be that hard to add to the code.

If you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it @idefix37 😋

But you have to admit that would be cool. I will - again - for the sake of it, drop a screenshot from a competitor's website.

I think a grid of values for any given layer would be a useful addition to Windy. It could be switched on or off to everyones liking.

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! 👍

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

See news here:

Data is here:

Would love to see it on windy.com

Cheers.

... 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.

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

@Korina
Can you delete this useless webcam as well? https://on.windy.com/4fkk3

There 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.

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?

thanks for the great plugin, @kbsali.

any chance you can show the routing of ALL boats when I move the date slider forwards?
