A few things to keep in mind for the submission

• Your webcam server needs to have IP addresses coming from outside on the white list, since we often experience issues with servers blocking our IP addressed by default

Hi @windy-7p, you can choose all the models including GFS in the App. Just open side menu and scroll to the bottom where you have the selection of models.

We would like to inform you about a short planned suspension of rapid scan data for Europe provided by one of the Eumetsat satellites until 03.02.2020. The satellite coverage however stays preserved since we substitute the missing data with ones from another satellite.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @Gkikas-LGPZ,

may I ask you to provide us with some more details about this issue? Since we did not notice any problems with the feature.

Once you create Favorite location then you should be able to select it from drop down menu of Start-up location in Settings. After that view of the map should change accordingly with every app launch.

Thank you in advance, Korina

Hello @nairb-idi9,

we appreciate your interest in our satellite data, but at the moment we are unable to provide data older than 12 hours.

Best regards, Korina

Dear @fuzzylogic,

thank you for your feedback. To answer your question, It is not possible to set a default layer which would appear after every app launch at the moment. Korina

Hi @colins,

wind speed is default view in Wind layer, however you can also choose another point of view such as Wind gusts and Wind accumulation

• Wind gusts are the highest speeds measured in some period of time at a certain place.
• Wind is sustained minimum speed measured at least for 1 minute
• Wind accumulation shows locations where highest wind gusts are accumulated

If you open side menu with More layers you can choose which layers will be placed in quick selection.

Hi @edumlz,

could you please tell me what version of Firefox are you using and which OS?
I checked the functionality on Firefox 60 + Windows 10 and there is no problem in rendering Wind animation nor any issue with purple layer.

Hi @marc-camenzind,

it is not possible to remove 'download app' banner while you are using Windy in browser.

App itself has usually the same functionality as the web browser version. For instance your custom Settings and saved Favorites can be accessed on both platforms. However some features are available for browser only at first, later they are also implemented to app.

Hi @mtbaker7696,

Windy uses timezone of your computer, but if you open a detail of a certain location it will show its local time.

Generally we use UTC or also referred to as GTM time.

You can find full explanation also here - Windy Timezone
