I forgot to mention, I hope that one day you guys would look at competing with XMWeather. I purchase XM weather to get it on my Garmin chart plotter and it's okay but no where close to as good as what Windy.com provides.

@johnckealy
Actual observation would be better for me. You are correct about surface analysis. That is also a very big part of what I am looking for. High pressure, Low pressures, approaching fronts and receding fronts are always great information.

@johnckealy said in Users of Windy: why do you want historical weather data?:

at do you want it for? For e

I need historical data because my primary use for Windy is offshore fishing. What I do is log my trips. I log weather, sea conditions, and productivity of the trip. I keep this log to see if there are conditions that are favorable to the productivity of the trip. For example SW winds sea (Gulf Stream) current and so forth. I normally make this log a few days after the trip. I also use Rutger's gulfstream imagery to sea temps.

You guy's are awesome! Finally, weather I can count on when offshore fishing. Thanks Team!
