So, this particular problem is related to these 2 issues:

• Google decided to block some countries because of US government. See https://community.windy.com/topic/5104/windy-doesn-t-work-for-couple-weeks-mobile-and-web
• Russia government decided to block Telegram via blocking some Google's IP ranges. See https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/04/in-effort-to-shut-down-telegram-russia-blocks-amazon-google-network-addresses/

Hi @gorbachsv, many thanks for clarifying this issue. We have just investigated it & found a solution on our side, although it's obviously not our fault. Can you please let us know how it is working now? Thank you very much! ~ Marie, Windy

In the last few days, many users from Russia have reported that their Android app stopped working. In some cases it seems to relate with the Android system WebView update problems, however, they all say that they have it updated. Also, their Windy app version is the latest possible, 14.04.

Hi lads, it would certainly be interesting to include weather (wind) statistics and we can add it to the long list of wishes/ideas. :) However, I'm afraid it's not our priority at the moment. ~ Marie
