@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.

@nirvous I agree! XCskies has HRRR, it would be great to have it in Windy too!

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..

For several days I've noticed that moving the time slider in the Android app will not change the wind or other parameters displayed, only when NAM is selected. The "about these data" for NAM shows contradictory information, such as last updated one day ago, next update now, but it lists the next update expected for a time more than 6 hours in the past.
Also, the NAM forecast displayed by Windy differs from what I see in XCkies using NAM.
Also, normally NAM can look ahead more than two days, but right now it cant see more than about 30 hours from now.

Windy defaults to ECMWF. That model is wildly wrong in the SW USA desert. NAM is accurate for our location. For years I have endured changing the model to NAM, this is becoming quite tedious. Pleasw allow us to choose the model that is displayed on startup. 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)

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!

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

Just started now. App will hang when selecting one hour forecast in Wind option. error console shows errors. Unable to copy entire error message,

I posted this bug a couple of years ago, still not solved. Windy app for Android, running on Android 9.

Easier to see than describe, see attached. When a point is selected, and the little down arrow is pressed to display more details, when Wind is selected, the little wind flags show the wind that is forecast the hour after the selected time.

Thanks,

Steve

@korina Thanks please keep working on it.

@korina So, two new releases have come out and it is still not fixed! I'm sick of waiting! The listing of a closed launch in El Paso TX is causing us problems with the RRRG ! Please we need this closed site purged from Windy!

@petra-pik I also need this. The coding would be simple. ECMWF is wildly wrong for the SW USA.

@nirvous I agree! XCskies has HRRR, it would be great to have it in Windy too!

Windy defaults to ECMWF. That model is wildly wrong in the SW USA desert. NAM is accurate for our location. For years I have endured changing the model to NAM, this is becoming quite tedious. Pleasw allow us to choose the model that is displayed on startup. Thanks!

@korina Please, I'm begging, delete Lee's Lookout near El Paso Texas. The continued presence of this closed paragliding spot in Windy is causing us many problems. I'm confused as to why we have to wait for a new version of the app. It shows up in web browsers too, and there has been at least one new version of the Windy app since my original request.

Thanks,

Steve

@korina Any progress on this? The site in question is located in El Paso TX named "Lee's Lookout " . Thanks!

@korina Thank You! Please let me know if you need more details about "Lee's Lookout" near El Paso TX to aid in the removal.
