@TZ 100% correct TZ. Others in this thread clearly don't understand weather modeling. Windy pulls the model data - NAM 3k, ECMWF 9k or GFS 22k - from NOAA and other agencies and then displays it on a great GUI - all 100% free. Windy does not generate model data. Prior to Windy I was forced to look at the raw data - ugh. I'm hoping soon that Windy can also show other "popular" models such as HRRR, OP4-, BAK40, etc. Also, a skew-t at a click would be wonderful! Keep up the good work. Windy is an invaluable tool for pilots and sailors, who use it every day. As for the haters - take the time to learn how to use Windy - for example, I just now selected Wind Gusts and see 155 MPH near the eye of Irma - very accurate. And study meteorology , it might help you get a clue ... if all that fails, go use some other app/website, most are not free.

Simply put, MB is never correct. Not only is it wrong when compared with actual observations, it's always in disagreement with other models, not just GFS, ECMWF, NAM, but also OP40, ICON, and HRRR.

Just saying..

Hi,

The Sandia Soaring Association maintains a new, Ultrasonic Holfuy In Albuquerque NM at the top of Sandia Peak:

https://holfuy.com/en/weather/954

I tried to add it to Windy using the Add Weather Station feature, but it errored-out.

Any suggestions? The URL is valid, and I completed all the required fields.

Thanks,

@TomSlavkovsky Please understand I'm a loyal, long time user and supporter. I hate to complain about such a great app. But I'm also a designer, and the best thing about Windy is it never, until now, had menus that took up screen real estate. Even 48 pixels is too much, it's bad design. Used to be able to hit the 3-line menu, change models, then hit the x and have most of the screen back. Now hit the three dots on a new menu that offers no additional functionality, switch models, then alllll the way up to the upper left to dismiss settings. .. and horrible, unneeded white bar is still there glaring at me.

I'll increase my offer for the APK of the previous version to $125, paid in advance via PayPal. I'm not wealthy, ithat is 10% of my weekly paycheck, but it would be worth it to me.

Thanks!

@jmh2002 Sure, I understand that. (I've been a Windy user from the early days) .
My point was purely informational. MeteoBlue is not accurate for the SW USA. Other models, for example HRRR , might be a better addition to the Big Three (NAM, GFS, ECMWF)

Notice how 1700 is highlighted, but the wind flags around the selection point are for 1800. Samsung Galaxy Note 9. This seems to have started after the 25.0.0 update.
Easy to replicate. Persists after a soft reset and uninstall/reinstall.

Thanks,

Steve

I'm soo happy I am still running the old version of the app, that has the ALTITUDE SLIDER WHERE IT SHOULD BE!!

A few updates back I learned the hard way to never, never upgrade the Windy app until I tested it on someone else phone.

Steve

@petra-pik This bug is still present after the most recent update (hikers going up trail).
This bug is not trivial. It affects out ability to decide when to launch our paragliders.

@petra-pik This bug was not fixed in the latest update.

@petra-pik Thanks Petra!

@stevecrye Still wondering what I need to do. Is there a better guide? Is the Holfuy web link "data" , which is a human-viewable graph, incompatible with Windy? Am I supposed to use an API?

I'm sure I'm not the only person with these questions. Thousands of Holfuy stations exist. They would be a valuable addition to Windy.

@stevecrye Hello? Any gurus able to help? I've followed the instructions but it is not working. Help, please.

@Maddy7 Holfuy if you can afford it, is fabulous.
