@Ftjwinfs I would also like to understand why this very useful use case (inspecting various locations on map) is not supported anymore.
I am also a sailor and have exactly the same needs: explore options on a map to find better route or anchorage for the night.
The new "Move the map to change the forecast location" is not a replacement for the old feature that we all loved.
Any plans to add ARPEGE model which better covers Mediterranean Sea.
It seems that GRIB files should be free, similar to AROME that is already supported in Windy.
@idefix37 It is the same in Slovenian: mrtvo morje
@idefix37 yes, I know that and it works for me. It is just confusing that I need to explain this and where to find the option to every friend that I have persuaded that Windy Premium is worth their money...
@Ondřej-Šutera yep, it was a delay. Thanks for clarification.
Updated just now:
@idefix37 Thanks for clarification, maybe they should be marked differently in the header to reduce confusion with meteogram (where there is no interpolation)? Or add interpolated values also there to make it consistent?
When we are planning sailing regatta, we sometimes look in 10 day forecasts from ECMWF to get the idea and to better decide on the area we want to sail.
When I open Windy for specific location, it shows by default 7 day forecast, that can be expanded to 10 day forecast like this:
Question: why are last three days shown only in 6h intervals?
When I go to Compare forecasts there is 3h forecast even for last three days for ECMWF (but here I cannot see wind gusts):
Why is 3h display not possible on the main page (with wind gusts)?
@idefix37 good point, ecmwf in windy is same resolution as arpegè, however I find arpegè (and derived models like aladin) better for sail navigation. Windy's great UX would be great with arpegè
@Ondřej-Šutera That is very unfortunate, as Arpège Europe model is one of the best models for Mediterranean Sea, particularly as it has 0.1 grid.
My favourite weather routing app (SailGrib WR) supports both ECMWF 0.4 and Arpège Europe 0.1 and the difference in routing is shown here - this is for our regatta tommorrow:
ECMWF: https://photos.app.goo.gl/j3Cj7BLeXHbs9rZQ7
Arpège: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iR5WRXViQyHfGxR4A
The difference in grid can be seen with the density of wind barbs.
It is really unfortunate that this great model that is public does not get supported in best weather app - Windy.
BTW: we use Windy route planner to check forecast a week before regatta to plan the best route: https://pbj.pojalabanda.com/jadranje/2023/vreme/

It is 10:23 CET (my local time) and Windy shows that:
Is Next update expected in local time, as it seems it is just late for almost an hour?
@idefix37 yes, I know that and it works for me. It is just confusing that I need to explain this and where to find the option to every friend that I have persuaded that Windy Premium is worth their money...
@idefix37 That is very weak argument for Boat routing.
I would expect that not many boaters expect wind directions as towards the boat, but all want to know what direction of the wind it is as each wind type (mistral, tramontana, meltemi, sirocco...) has some specific with them and it is important to know what type of wind to expect quickly from meteogram. Currently I need to scroll around in timeline to understand what is the type of the wind I can expect.
Since there is special Boat type of routing I really do not understand why changing default to North up at least for this profile would be an issue.
@idefix37 I was also confused by Boat routing and not having wind directions from north up. The last version of boat routing still does not feature North up as default. Is there a plan to change it, as it really makes no sense to have left to right wind directions for boat routing (at least not for us with sailboats)
