    • RE: No watch app for Garmin Quatix 5?

      I found link in Windy app on Android and it seems Quatix 5 watch is not supported?
      What is the reason, this watch is not supported?
      It is very unfortunate as many sailors use Quatix watches and would appreciate windy weather info on their watch.

    • RE: Navionics Boating by Garmin

      @Nicole-Dolezalova yes, I am also moving away from Navionics. I recently started to use Orca app (getorca.com), but map coverage is not as good.

    • No watch app for Garmin Quatix 5?

      I was really excited about recent Windy update news, even more with app for Garmin watches.

      I have checked in Connect IQ app, but it did not find "windy" app.
      I have Garmin Quatix 5 app that I use for sail races and would be great to also have weather info on the watch.

      Regards,
      Luka

    • Windy Embed for personal weather stations

      I am providing weather data from my boat as Windy Station.
      I use signalk-windy-plugin that uploads my boat data to Windy PWS.

      Would it be possible to add support for Windy Stations for embedding (iframe) via https://embed.windy.com?

      I would like to add my windy station data to my dashboard on the boat.

    • RE: 35% Premium subscription price hike?!

      @Suty Is there any plans to merge Windy and Meteoblue subscription to one? Or at least provide discounts for users of one service for the other?

    • Route planner only ECMWF?

      Is there any good reason why route planner does not support other models than ECMWF?

    • RE: Windy station on the boat - location not shown if changed

      And additional question: I am also sending 'pressure' in Pa to Windy, but it does not show in Windy.

    • RE: How do I add my ship to be a station ?

      @William-Krukowski This is very easy if you have Signal K on your boat network.

      I have Victron Cerbo GX to monitor my boat electrical system and it has special Large firmware which includes Signal K open source software.

      What I did:

      • connect Cerbo GX to Garmin NMEA2000 via VE-Can to NMEA2000 cable
      • install Large firmware on Cerbo, enable Signal K
      • I have my Garmin network always on (I just turn off all GMI displays and plotters with power off key): this provides me heading, wind, depth and AIS data on NMEA 2000 network
      • On Signal K I had to
        • install Signal K Windy plugin
        • install Derived Data plugin to calculate wind.directionGround
          (from boat heading and wind angle)

      And now I have my own windy station and I always know exact situation on my boat from Windy.

    • Windy station on the boat - location not shown if changed

      I have setup Windy station on my boat with Signal K Windy plugin. It uses my Garmin boat instruments and Ruuvi sensors for the data.
      https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06efc48?44.666,13.653,8

      When I am underway, station location is properly shown on boat location on Windy map.

      However, when I inspect historical data, it does not show the location of the measurement on the map - it leaves the point on the current location in my home port.

      462df8ad-084c-470d-af2a-dcfa75ca558c-image.png

      Can this be fixed as this data is misleading for Windy stations on movable vehicles like boats.

    • RE: Arpège

      @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

    • RE: Arpège

      @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/

    • RE: Totally disappointed by recent update (picker, layer list)

      @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.

      @Ondřej-Šutera yep, it was a delay. Thanks for clarification.

    • RE: ECMWF 10 day forecast display shows only 6h intervals for last 3 days

      @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?

    • ECMFW updates late or timezone display issue?

      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?

    • RE: Windy route planner incorrect swell and wind direction compared to normal forecast?

      @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...

    • RE: Windy route planner incorrect swell and wind direction compared to normal forecast?

      @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.

    • RE: Windy route planner incorrect swell and wind direction compared to normal forecast?

      @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)
