@idefix37 said in Bug: Wind direction on map differs from wind direction shown at location picker and in timeline:

If I do the same exercise, I get consistent wind directions

Hi @idefix37 !

Hopefully, these screenshots are better.

The first screenshot shows the different models where wind directions come from either E, SW, or W. The second screenshot shows the wind direction particles from SW, which doesn't reconcile with the models.

Hi @idefix37

I just want to follow up on this topic, because I'm having the same issue. I'm a paragliding pilot and I use Windy to check for the wind direction. As you can see from the the attached image. That for today (Wednesday 13th at 20:00) the wind direction from the weather models don't reconcile with the particles shown on the map.

The wind direction from the particles indicate a SW wind at 20:00. However, the different models show the following wind directions:

• ECMWF: W Wind

• GFS 22: SE

• METEOBLUE: E Wind

• ICON-D2: E Wind

Am I ready this correctly or like in the previous case the wind direction marked in Windy takes a differnet model?

Thank you in advance.
