This is a fantastic addition. Those of us from Australia will really appreciate the offerings from this well known model. I am actively involved in the weather fraternity in Australia (around 20,000 subscribers) and promote your app often.

Thanks so much for this wonderful app. I've also subscribed. I run a busy community forecasting website with about 20,000 subscribers and will promote the Windy App there.

This COVID-19 situation is indeed extremely serious. I have friends who work in health services and it is heart breaking to see so many folk dying across the world. Even those who don't die, many of them will suffer from permanent damage.

It's not my death that overly frightens me, it's the incredible suffering of others in poorer and vulnerable countries that frightens me. I am more than willing to lose work and indeed, work from home - to help deal with this awful virus.

Thanks again, for this wonderful app. In more than three decades of weather forecasting, I have never seen anything like it.

Thank-you.

I have been promoting Windy.com on my Australian website, where I have about 20,000 subscribers and have done some basic tutorials, too.

It's an incredible app. 😊🌬

Thankyou.

This is my photo of the Blue Mountains region, where I live. The towns and villages in the Blue Mountains sit atop the eroded plateau and then the valleys are quite deep, within a few km of the towns. So yes, the lower resolution of the models averages out the altitude quite a lot.

I use the temperature at 900hPa and 850hPa during potential snowfalls, to determine the possibility of snow settling or indeed sleet or cold rain. As well as temperature etc, at 700hPa and 500hPa to determine possible convective snowfalls or maybe only isothermal snowfalls. I was successful on each occasion this year in forecasting our snow events and even was accurate with the amount of settling snow. Thanks to Windy app in part, this was made much easier.

@korina Yes, fair points, Korina. Sending a kind hello to you from the Blue Mountains, Australia.

Yes, there is a group of us that, for decades, have focused on the difficult task of forecasting snow for the Blue Mountains and Central Tablelands forecast district. Snow in Australia outside our ski fields is a real novelty and is usually very marginal. The challenge of forecasting it, is very enjoyable for a few dozen of us!

This is a shot from our snow this winter, August, 25th in this instance.

@idefix37 Thank you for your reply. It's a wonderful app.

Isolines are critical when identifying upper disturbances with enough accuracy to determine more accurate convective activity. And low level cold pools need accurate identification to determine isolated snowfalls in my region, like the surprise snowfall last year on September 17th, in the Blue Mountains, Australia.

So, if the app doesn't show them but the mobile site can via a bookmark from my desktop, I will have to use the mobile site instead of the app.

Isolines are very important in forecasting, to determine localised features.

Thanks for your response.

Hi folks,

I promote Windy app on my website all the time, I love it.

Just wondering when the Premium App is coming out for Android? Do I wait for the Premium App or pay for Windy Premium on my desktop? Will paying on the desktop give me the Premium features on my phone app?

Cheers all. 😊

@mates-dolda Cheers. I love Windy app. I recommend it to my 20,000 subscribers often!

Hi Folks,

I love Windy, us it every day. So much information available to weather lovers!

Is there a way to allow the wind barbs on your charts to face the correct way in the southern hemisphere?

See image for correct direction of barbs.

@petra-pik Thank-you. :)

@temp850

It's been seventeen days since I first posted this. Any sign of the Windy app update for Android yet with ACCESS model included?

@temp850 I should say that ACCESS model from Australia was the only model that really picked the sunshine this afternoon in the Blue Mountains. All other models pretty much had it cloudy or drizzly.

@korina Yes, fair points, Korina. Sending a kind hello to you from the Blue Mountains, Australia.

@korina Thanks for that. I imagined it would be good to delay the Apple release so as to release them at the same time? A lot of us Android users have had to go back to the mobile version of Windy, away from the app, to use the ACCESS model meteogram - as ACCESS is quite good for Australia.

All good, I'm sure you will release it in time but releasing phone platforms together allows all phone users to feel like they are seeing the same offerings at the same time. :-)

I love Windy app, it is superb and I promote it all the time to my 20,000+ subscribers.

@idefix37 Me too. This sounds like the best idea to me, although I am not aware of all of the processes involved.

Thankyou. :-)

@idefix37 I am a Pro subscriber in Australia. There is no app update since January 28. I have gone into Google Play but no App update is available. In google play it says latest version is 28th January, 2022.

PS: I just installed Windy on my wife's Android phone under her own google play account and her version is latest version, too, 28-1-22. No more recent than that one on android. All other apps are updating in google play.
