No response? Can not reproduce?

Test Environment:

• Firefox 128.9.0esr on Debian GNU/Linux 12
• Fennec F-Droid 136.0.0 (A fork of Firefox Mobile)
• Chromium 135.0.7049.95 (Official Build) built on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Navigate to https://www.windy.com/ without logging in.
2. Switch to the "Cloud" layer → Observe normal display.
   
3. Enable Graphic Compatibility Mode in settings → Reload page → Cloud layer remains normal.
   
4. Log in to Windy account using credentials.
5. Disable Graphic Compatibility Mode post-login → Cloud layer becomes:

• Covered by a white overlay
• Visually blurred
• Partially obscured
  

6. Re-enable Graphic Compatibility Mode → Cloud layer restores normal display.
   

Expected Behavior:

Consistent Cloud layer rendering regardless of login state or compatibility mode status.

Actual Behavior:

• Login state + disabled compatibility mode → Cloud layer corruption
• Non-logged-in state or compatibility mode enabled → Normal display

The Start-up location in the settings could previously select locations from My Favorites, but since My Favorites was moved to My Alerts, the Start-up location can no longer select the location I need from My Alerts.

It also looks like the CSS opacity properties were adjusted in a lot of places, and the changes don’t look very good.

Please take the old progress bar back!

The new progress bar UI is terrible. I hope to bring back the old progress bar. The new progress bar shows the day of the week on one half and not on the other half. The information density is very low, but it takes up a lot of space. And the large gray area looks very abrupt.

@Suty In case you didn't know, WMO website has a sources list: https://severeweather.wmo.int/sources.html :)

Weather warnings layer's data is missing... Compare the data with WMO(https://severeweather.wmo.int/).

Reference: Windy Launches Premium 15-Day Forecast for ECMWF Model using AIFS technology

The label for the merged Model ECMWF-AIFS is no longer displayed? It is now impossible to know where the AIFS model started:

In the screenshot of @idefix37 in August 2024, you can still see the label where the AIFS model starts, but it is gone now:

@Suty I love GPS feature. But if I'm indoors, GPS positioning will be too slow:(

GPS positioning is too slow on Android Windy app, especially when indoors. If I select Use GPS in Start-up Location, then every time I open Windy, I have to wait a long time for GPS positioning to see the weather forecast for my current location.

So is it possible to use network location instead of GPS to obtain my current location? It is faster than GPS. (I know there is a permission called android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION on Android)

I don't know if it's my illusion, I think image of Satellite layer is clearer than Radar+.

@Suty Another duplicated depression: Krathon.

@Suty Now I don't see the duplicated depression.

One is "No forecast available", the other one is "Forecast model: NHC-At".

@Filip_K Look like Windy doesn't update ECMWF 06Z/18Z in Hurricane Tracker?

I found that the typhoon positions in Windy Layer and Hurricane Tracker do not match.

@Filip_K It would be more clearly:)

But I found Hurricane Tracker seems stop update, Bebinca's last update is one day ago.

BTW, there is a gramma typo in the screenshot. "1 days ago" should be "1 day ago".

Hoping windy can add reference time in Hurricane Tracker:)

Just curious, In Hurricane Tracker, will ECMWF data also be updated four times a day (00z, 06z, 12z, 18z) for a premium user?

Both use ECWMF as data source,
About these data: Updated 1h 2m ago (00z)
Hurricane tracker: Updated 2h 11m ago
