Update: 14th of May, 9:00 am UTC

Cyclone Mocha has strengthened into a Category 4 storm and is currently nearing the Myanmar coastline for landfall. As an extremely severe system approaches, parts of Myanmar and Bangladesh are already experiencing severe weather.

Maximum winds are 249 km/h. Cyclone will bring strong winds and rain as well as a storm surge to a very exposed area. Preparations are complete to ensure people are as safe as possible.

Update: 13th of May, 9:00 am UTC

Cyclone Mocha is gathering strength at a faster pace than previously anticipated! It will reach the coast during the Sunday and is carrying winds of 159km/h (99mph) upon landfall.

Hundreds of thousands have been ordered to evacuate from coast areas in both countries. Specialists say that this size of storm hasn't been in this are over a decade.

Fortunately, it is expected that the storm will get weaker with the landfall with the coast in the Sunday morning.

Dear Windy.com users,

We're excited to support our partner nowcast (https://www.nowcast.de/en/) in expanding the coverage of their global lightning network, that provides real-time data to Windy. So if you are interested in helping Windy and you want to see real time lightnings in your region, then this opportunity is for you. Nowcast is seeking volunteers in specific regions to host sensors, which are crucial for improving lightning detection and safety measures.

Here are the regions where they need your help

• Northern India or Nepal
• Mexico, Costa Rica, or Panama
• Western Pacific, including the Mariana Islands, Guam, and Palau
• Japan
• North-western parts of South America (Ecuador, Peru, northern Chile, …)
• Southern USA (along the Border to Mexico till Florida)

Site Requirements:

• Location should be free from significant electrical noise (e.g., distant from transformer stations, large motors, or high-voltage power lines).
• The site should provide a small area (less than 4 sqm) for the antenna.
• An elevated, restricted area with a clear, unobstructed horizon at a 25° elevation angle.
• Ideally, access to power and internet (less than 20W power usage and below 50kbit/s for data).

Benefits to Hosts:

As a host, you will not be required to install, maintain, or repair the equipment. All installation and maintenance costs will be covered by nowcast. In return, you'll receive either non-commercial access to nowcast's web application, allowing you to monitor thunderstorm activity and receive customizable alerts about lightning activity around your location, or a financial compensation.

Also as mentioned above, by becoming a host, you will also support the integration of enhanced lightning coverage for these regions in the Windy.com, benefiting users worldwide.

We appreciate your involvement and support in this significant project to enhance global safety and weather awareness. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please get in touch with us.

Thank you for your support!
The Windy.com Team

There is an outage of data over the whole American continent. We are investigating the issue with the highest priority.

Thank you for your patience.

We are planning to update this and add info about the updated time of the model.

@TerrorBite Hi, our trial version of API is rather for testing purposes for potential customers of the Professional license.

According to the Home version of API, we are not planning this now. However, I could consider with colleagues from the product team.

To provide further details about this missing layer. Radar+ was something like a step between two phases, since it provided new visualization technology for our RadSat layers. Now both layers (Radar and Satellite) are already displayed this way, so we decided to remove Radar+, because all features are displayed in these two.

@Ahmed-A-AS There was no change in these time periods in version 44. So I am not sure what you mean exactly.

There is currently an outage of satellites over the American continent. We are not receiving any data, and we are waiting for further development.

There is an outage of GEOS-16 East and GEOS-18 West, as shown on the NOAA Satellite Alert messages: https://ospo.noaa.gov/operations/messages.html

@mmurphy242 Hi, I might have better news for you, we started to discuss this topic and it could be added in upcoming plans to Windy. I can't promise any specific date, but we stopped to be negative about adding this dataset.

@acummings Hello, thank you for your report. I already note this and will discuss it with colleagues.

@mawyi Hello, I see your account is already a Premium one. Do you still need any help?

@Alika-Bayu Hello, it seems like an outage of the provider. However, if you know any source of data for BKMG radar data, we would appreciate you sharing them with us.

@yosafatbudi Hello, it seems like an outage of the provider. However, if you know any source of data for BKMG radar data, we would appreciate you sharing them with us.

@outlawcountry Hello, it seems like an outage of the provider. However, if you know any source of data for BKMG radar data, we would appreciate you sharing them with us.

@jax2123 Hello, do you know any reliable source of this information?

For now, there is no plan for this, but we appreciate any suggestions.

@ust21or I found the conversation and the problem was that we were not able to locate the payment, also, you attached certain screenshot from probably your bank account, but there was no information about which service charged you. Without any invoice or anything related we are not able to locate the transaction.

As you can see in your bank account, the first one mentions Paddle.com as the provider, we found this one. But the second one is not anyhow related to services, we use for the subscription management (Paddle, AppStore, Google Play or even older Fastspring).

@堀田遼介 No, still any plan for this.

@Petezuw Hello, can you please provide screenshots with examples?

Could you please try to clear the cache of the browser and try to restore the purchase once again?

@Laarzmo Hello, I found one station in Savukoski, but stations can be added only by owners usually, so we cannot handle this.
