@Suty Not only in "Compare forecasts". As I wrote in this same thread a few posts up (10 days ago), the 1h setting also reverts back to 3h in the "Weather stations" observations layer.

@ucelme It is frustrating... and it's not only the 1h setting in the compare forecast view, but also the one in the "Weather stations" layer always reverts back the the 3h setting. Whenever I reopen the website or app, I need to enable "1h observations" again.

@idefix37 @suty Hi. Yes, that switch works and keeps its state. But the one in the "Compare forecast" view always reverts back to the 3h view after closing the app. This one here does not save its state.

Redmi Note 13, Android 15, Windy 51.0.1

I wanted to try them but they don't even work on my phone. I tried multiple times... When that option appears to choose between the old and the new widget and I select the new one, nothing happens. No widget is pinned to the screen, even though the entire screen is empty without any apps or other widgets on it. They don't work at all on my Redmi Note 13, Android 15. But according to your description, it seems I'm better off with the old ones anyway.

Hi, I've noticed the following inconsistency that seems a bit weird.

Case 1: 15 day forecast with 3 hour interval (1h toggle off in the bottom left)

• Every day starts at 2am, for some reason. Why not midnight, 0:00?
• But then, on the 12th August, after the 7-day forecast is over, you see that the interval changes to a 6-hour interval, which starts at 5am. Again, why not 0:00 and then 0, 6, 12, 18?

When looking at the comparison view, it's the same. Also, why is it only 5 days in the comparison view instead of 7 days as in the map/normal forecast view?

Case 2: 15 day forecast with 1 hour interval (1h toggle on in the bottom left)

• For the first 7 days, everything is okay because it shows all 24 hours.
• But then again, after the first 7 days, the interval changes to 2 hours, and begins at 1am. It's a mess... Why not start at midnight? Why at 1am? Why is it different than above where it starts at 2am?

When looking at the comparison view, it's like this:

• In the 1h mode (different toggle, new one in comparison mode), the first 6 (SIX! Why not 7?) show all 24 hours correctly. Then the 7th day, which STILL should show all 24 hours, starts at midnight, then 2am, 5am, 8am, ... 23 - so we have a 2h-interval first, then a 3h-interval for the whole day until 11pm where it's just 1 hour left until midnight...
• And then days 8 to 15 show the 3-hour interval, but starting at 2am. Again, why not midnight?

• In the 3h mode, every single day starts at 2am from day 7 to 15, but notice that day 7 (the 11th August) is now the same as days 8 to 15 - unlike on the screenshot above where the 11th is different, which is yet another weird thing.

Sorry, but this was not possible to explain without screenshots. I hope the confusion makes sense...

@Suty Hi, I've noticed something regarding this issue. When I turn on any of those three options (reported wind, temp., precip.) and then just move the map on my phone so that the crosshair is over one of the many stations displayed on the map, the correct data of that station is shown at the top of the screen. I can move the map around as much as I like and as soon as the crosshair is over a station, I see that data. But, as soon as I tap on any of the displayed stations, Windy freezes instantly. So it has something to do with the "tapping" function.

@Suty Hi, it's been a long time and I honestly didn't check, but yesterday I noticed the issue again and remembered that I reported this quite some time ago. The Android Windy app still crashes in this case every single time.

Steps to repeat the problem: display any of the three weather station options: reported wind, reported temp., reported precip. - this still works and the stations appear on the map. But then, just click on any of all the displayed stations and the app instantly freezes. It has to be force-closed and reopened to work again. Did you ever find out what's causing this and how and when it may be fixed? Thank you very much.

Current Windy Android app version 50.1.1. / Android 15

Hi @Suty, as @jasonv13 mentioned, it's not just that the pressure/clouds/rain/etc. have been removed, it's the fact that the airgram is cut off at the bottom because the red options menu bar does not disappear. This is a screenshot from a 27" display, so there's enough space but the bottom of the airgram is cut off by the red bar.

@idefix37 Yes, I will test it and will report back here to hopefully narrow down where the issue comes from.

@idefix37 I plotted that route myself in CalTopo and exported it as gpx. I can import that file anywhere in AlpineQuest, Google Earth, Gaia, Mapy, etc., and it's always correct. So I don't think the gpx is wrong. I can try creating routes in other apps and importing them into Windy. If it's going to be the same result, something with the import doesn't seem to work properly. I won't use Windy to plot routes because I've been using CalTopo for years and all my data is there. But I can definitely try to create gpx routes in other tools and import them to see what happens.

@Nicole-Dolezalova Hello, it's been more than 7 months now. Has this been investigated? Because it is definitely not fixed. I have just tried it again, please watch this screen recording here: https://kommodo.ai/recordings/LBoVKcphHSp4LCGRWvLG?onlyRecording=1

As described in the original post, I simply imported a small 13.48km gpx file exported from CalTopo into Windy. Same behavior. Windy somehow turns those 13.48km into 18km, and everything is just off.

You can see the white dots flying in and out from everywhere on the map when I simply drag the mouse over the route at the bottom. You can also see that the orange "elevation dot" is off. And the end is just at elevation zero, which are the additional 4.5km Windy adds for some reason.

Thanks for an update on this.

@idefix37 That is not what I asked and not what my post is about. My location is irrelevant. Look at the first two images. For EVERY SINGLE DAY the min and max temps are shown, but on the current day, only the max temp is shown.

Is there a reason why the min. temp. is no longer shown on the current day or is this a bug?

Not shown at the top...

Not shown at the bottom...

But, still shown on the widget...

Same on all weather models.

Redmi Note 13, Android 15, Windy 49.0.1

Just adding a comment to further boost this. Hopefully... If Windy says it listens to suggestions, then please do.

Give us an option to disable that eyesore or remove it entirely. Or, instead of that unusable, ugly overlay, maybe use a different color scale like others suggested and like almost every other app/website shows different precipitation types.

Android app version 48.0.2, Android 15, Redmi Note 13.

When choosing to display one of these options mentioned in the title, they do correctly appear on the map. But once I click on any of the displayed stations, the "observation data loading" appears at the bottom and the app completely freezes. A few times it even completely crashed the phone's UI as well, which reloaded once I was able to force close Windy.

I have tried multiple times. The app always crashes.

Please check and fix this. Thanks.

@Suty Hi. I have a Windy widget that I usually tap on to open Windy. I've done this for years, but only in the last few days Windy opens with this UI glitch. No, the app is not open in the background. I usually close apps right after I used them - which I also have been doing in the exact same way for years.

A few months ago, there was the exact same issue, which can be found here on the forum. Now it's back... For the last few days, I've noticed that the app is behind the Android UI at the top and bottom again.

The weird thing is, it "only" happens a few times a day. When it happens, I need to close the Windy app, open it again, and then the UI is correct.

Please check and fix this.

Can only agree with everything said in this thread. Usability has been going downhill steadily for quite a long while, unfortunately...

@Gkikas-LGPZ Hi, thanks, but that's not what I meant. I mentioned that I am not talking about opening Windy through a widget or using overlays. What all users mean who have ever requested this, is an option in the settings to select the model that is displayed when we open the website on the computer or open the app. Also, your suggestion only works for Windy Premium users. Guess which feature would make me upgrade from Free to Premium...

Windy users have been asking for a setting to choose the preferred weather model for a long time, and Windy's reply has always been the same: "We might add it someday...", "We're considering it...", "We might add it, but don't know when...". Well, a quick search for default model shows 68 results, with the first one posted in 2017. That's 8 years ago.

Nothing has happened. There is still no setting to choose a default model. Every single time we open the website or app, ECMWF opens, which in most cases is the worst model of them all, even though it's claimed to be the most accurate. Not everywhere!

It's such a shame that this still hasn't been implemented, and there's also no explanation as to why. Maybe some contract enforces the use of ECMWF as default. Who knows. We users don't.

It would be great if you could add this setting. Thank you, even though there's almost no hope after 8 years of asking...

This is not about overlays and using widgets. It's about a simple option in the settings that should and could be added.
