@Antonis-Kafiris Map data for Windy is currently provided by openstreetmap, you can make changes there is you wish.

@Polcmods Windy already displays rain as rain (3h), and weather radar you can change from dBZ to mm/h.

@Bhushan-Bannur You can follow the instructions from here https://community.windy.com/topic/3952/how-to-set-up-a-windy-alert

Just enable rain in the alert and set your desired timeframes.

@jayerjavec Could you provide screenshots and software / hardware information? (Type of phone/tablet and software version)

@Sean-Doyle-2 HRRR in Hawaii is currently only Experimental, which is why I suspect Windy has not implemented it yet. The NAM 3KM is available for Hawaii, however.

@AndiP66 If you open a private window with Firefox, does the issue still occur?

@fowey-guy Weather forecasting is never 100% accurate, it is more of an educated guess because, in essence, you are trying to predict the future. That being said, it is worth experimenting with different weather models or forecasts because each one handles a specific region differently. One might perform better in a location than others.

@Captain340 I didn't change anything, but glad it is working now.

@Captain340 From the screenshot you provided, everything appears normal. Other models are not “greyed out”. Are you able to select other models now?

@Captain340 Could you possibly upload a screenshot?

@Ichnos-Centro-Meteo Radar and satellite are two different sets of data. Radar indicates rain, satellite simply indicated clouds, and not all cloud produce precipitation.

However, there sometimes can be radar interference, which can show rain when there isn't any, or visa versa.

I also vote for some Canadian models on Windy, all of which are available for free and often have better resolutions than their American counterparts.

@NoCopyRightsYo-LSM May I ask what change or changes recently are you not satisfied with?

@djMot Can you confirm that you have enabled expert mode at the bottom of the layer selection menu?

@Speedy1 Could you possibly post a screenshot? It is still working for me.

@midtoad Can you post the screenshots inline in with the text instead of going through Drive so it's easier for the devs to see?

@motaman9 There may be some inaccuracies some of the time with forecasting depending on what model you are using.

@gio_ Maps in Windy are provided by OpenStreetMap, if you see an incorrect detail you can create an account and make changes through OpenStreetMap.

@Staurossim Most weather models will struggle in mountainous regions. However, models with higher resolutions tend to fair better.

@sixpoint Which model are you using? If you find one is not very effective for you, you can try one of the other ones Windy offers. In the US, users can change between ECMWF, GFS, ICON, NAM and HRRR.
