@Brucarba Sadly, that is the problem with the radar operator and Windy can't do anything about it. But thank you for letting us know. Have a nice day, Niki

@guillermocanche Hello, thank you for noticing - you got the correct observation. Sadly, the data from this specific radar is no longer available. If you know the link or contact information for this particular radar/provider, please don't hesitate to share it with us, and we will see what we can do about it. Have a nice day, Niki

@pgilbrea Hello, the feature will be reintroduced in the next version of the app, likely v47. Thank you all for the feedback! We appreciate your suggestions. Have a nice day, Niki

@Jacob-Kennedy Hello, we recommend suggesting any changes to OpenStreetMap directly - you can see the topic here.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about it. Still, technically speaking, you are correct that the islands will undoubtedly have an impact on various layers, including currents and local wind patterns.
Have a sunny day,
Niki

@UAHiker Hello, thank you for your suggestion, we will see if we can add more devices in the future. Have a nice day, Niki

@drcapala Thank you very much for your suggestion. We will see what we can do about it; I have raised the idea with our team. Have a nice day, Niki

@cdanly
Hello,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have created a topic within a team, and we will consider adding it to one of the next updates.

@idefix37 You are right. We cannot guarantee that forecasted layers will display these changes. With my previous idea, I was highlighting the actual physical impact of the islands on local conditions. Thanks for the clarification!

⚠️ Live Storm & Rain Alerts Now on Windy

We’ve launched real-time alerts for storms and rain so you can stay informed the moment weather conditions change.
These brand-new features by Windy are here to help you stay safe from storms and dry through all seasons – wherever you are.

🌩️ Live Storm Alerts
Our storm alerts are a unique, location-based safety feature. You will be notified if the storm is less than 1 hour from you and lightning occurs.
Notifications are powered by privately aggregated data from renowned companies focusing on lightning occurrence, including detailed cloud-to-ground lightning detection.

To avoid false alarms, our system employs an enhanced filter: alerts are only triggered if at least two lightning strikes occur within a 2.5 km radius over a 15-minute period. If that condition is met, and the storm is less than one hour away from your location, you’ll get notified.

☔️ Live Heavy Rain Alerts
Using real-time radar data from your location, Windy.com detects short-term precipitation trends and notifies you just before the rain begins.
The Heavy Rain notifications utilize 1-hour extrapolated radar data, with a set threshold in dBZ, to determine whether the Rain is heavy or not.

This Live Alert is only available in regions covered by radars shared within Windy's network. Check the radar coverage of your location in the radar layer.

ℹ️ How to Enable Live Alerts

1. Open Windy.com
2. Go to "Menu" (Red circle with 3 horizontal lines)
3. Go to 🔔 "My Alerts" (Top-Right Menu)
4. Click on the toggle switch to activate Alerts

• "Storms" for Storm Live Alerts,
• "Heavy rain" for Live Rain Alerts.

5. You have successfully activated Live Alerts

Live Alerts are available only on mobile devices. To receive them, make sure you're online, logged in, and have location permissions enabled.

Alerts you are familiar with

📡Official Weather Warnings
If you have opened Windy.com before, you might have seen various Weather Warnings - from Thunderstorms to Wildfires.

These are official warnings released by local hydrometeorological institutes around the world. Together with our Live Alerts you can keep safe no matter if you are commuting or enjoying your holidays.

They now appear 📍 pinned to your homepage and directly in the forecast detail. But if you are curious about all the Weather Warnings around the world, simply change your layer to Weather warnings.

🙋🏻Forecast Alerts
Do you want more specific Alert?
Windy allows you to create your personalized alert next to our Live Alerts.

You can customize the location, weather conditions, and even the duration of those conditions.

Choose from parameters such as:

• Temperature
• Wind (speed and direction)
• Rain (accumulation)
• Cloud cover
• Snowfall
• Your preferred forecast model

You can also personalize the notification text to suit your needs.

Windy allows you to create multiple Forecast Alerts, keeping you safe and informed—whatever the occasion.

How to create your Forecast Alert

1. Choose your favorite spot by clicking on the map (or use the search bar instead)
2. Click on "the heart icon" (Top-Right on Mobile, Top-Left on Desktop)
3. Choose "Alert for this spot"
4. Customize your Alert (Location > Activity > Conditions > Customization)
5. Agree with the conditions and click "Save"
6. You have created the Forecast Alert

To receive Forecast Alerts, make sure you're online and logged in.
To see the instructions, just follow the same path as for Live Alerts: go from "Menu" to "My Alerts" section.
You will find them below the Live Alerts.

@rfidonavratil Prima den, zkuste použít tento návod a dejte vědět, jestli se podařilo. S pozdravem, Niki

@BreakwaterYacht said in wind vectors not updating:

ors or velocities on my mac app or on mac browser to update direction or strength

Hello, could you please provide us with screenshots for comparisons and further investigations?
What web browser, version of macOS are you using?
As there is no macOS version of Windy.com, so I am not sure what exactly are you referring to if you say on your mac app.

Thank you and have a nice day,
Niki

@LeeMorgan Hello, there is no option to change the font colours inside the app directly, at this moment. I recommend using mobile widgets, which you can set to dark or light mode. Have a nice day, Niki

@nobolwind Hello, please proceed to buy it through this link. There is an option to put details you need and want. Have a nice day, Niki

@cho-sung-koo Hello to manage your subscription, please access your account on Fastspring: https://windy.onfastspring.com/account
Have a nice day, Niki

@westpacsailor Hello, unfortunately we can't change the name of the station at this moment. We may, in the future, inform you of changes via our official channels. Have a nice day, Niki

@ChiranjiviCP Hello, currently, there is no such feature inside the Windy API. From the existing layers, I see only Rain accumulation to be useful; however, you would need much more complex and local data, usually provided by local hydrometeorological institutes, regarding all water bodies in the area. Have a nice day, Niki

@jeromeg52 Hello, currently we are not planning to implement further customizations but we might in the future. I appreciate your understanding and have a nice day, Niki

@mbrunnme Hello, you can access the airgram with meteogram in the desktop version. Mobile version will be coming soon. Have a nice day, Niki

@nic-7e835810-f219-4eee-90a2-b4459370313b said in Garmin face/widget:

"IQ!"

Hello, please try to check the Garmin troubleshooting. Let me know if these instructions helped you. Have a nice day, Niki

@James-Mottram Hello, there has been a discussion about this issue - you need to have your iPhone and Mac with the same AppleID. As we don't provide app for macOS currently, you can still share the widget from your iPhone to your mac. Have a nice day, Niki
