    • RE: Simplifed Chinese Translation Error

      @Suty said in Simplifed Chinese Translation Error:

      @tomacat Hello and thank you for reporting this. I will discuss this with colleagues, it is possible that a wrong key was used in these abbreviations.

      Translator missing the context, and misunderstanding the "S" "W" on here are stand for the day of week.

      The English abbreviations for Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday were incorrectly translated into Chinese as: West (W), South (S), South (S).

      @Suty said in Map label is too old:

      @tomacat Hi, we are aware of certain errors in the map labels, however I am not able to tell you if or when this will be updated now.

      Nearly 2 years later, the map label was updated finally;)

      @guoyouhuai said in 帳戶问題:

      我更改了邮件地址,登入时发现輸入新的邮件地址,必須輸入旧邮件密码才能登入。有知道是什麼情況嗎?IMG_7441.jpeg

      Translate:

      I change my email address, but found I have to use old password to login when I input the new email address. Does someone knows the reason?

      So the Original Poster change both the email and password? I change my email address long before, and haven't this problem.

      我之前購買會員郵件是3035801***@qq.com,我現在已經將郵件地址更改為guoyouh***@icloud.com,但問題來了,登入會員時,賬戶輸入icloud郵件,但是密碼還是要輸入之前購買會員的郵箱密碼才能登入,我icloud郵箱密碼反而無法登入。
      我icloud邮件在其他地方都可以正常使用。

      Translate:

      I once purchase the Windy Premium on my account 3035801***@qq.com, and now I already change the email address as guoyouh***@icloud.com. The problem is when I input the iCloud email address to login, I have to use the password which I purchase the Premium's email address, iCloud email address's password can not login.
      My iCloud email can use normally elsewhere.

      The last sentence I can't understand as a Chinese speaker. According to the context, It looks said couldn't received the email from windy. But it is not password problem. So what's the problem exactly?

      Retrieve it with this token:WMzAMqJe6ad73GPj
      The validity period is one month.

      Just curious, Are you deverloper of "ColorfulClouds Weather" App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colorfulclouds.lite)? You leave a email address is same as the Enterprise Credit Information of "北京知天华正科技有限公司", based on Tianyancha. Or are you distributor;)

      Another question is, which the coordinate system of the API use, WGS-84 or GCJ-02? The docs never talk about it.

    • RE: Radar Data Outage in Mainland China and parts of India

      I believe windy.com use Rain Viewer as a source. Rain Viewer stop Single Radar Data API (which contains a processed weather radar files) since August 1st, 2025:

      OMG, the whole china mainland's data is missing, my Heavy Rain Live Alert won't work :((

      I don't know the source which the windy.com use. But I see Rainviewer work properly: https://www.rainviewer.com/weather-radar-map-live.html?loc=38,100,3

      NMC also provide radar images properly: https://www.nmc.cn/publish/radar/chinaall.html

    • RE: Storm Alert API

      @Suty I have a similar idea. Because app notification is too slow, My hope is received a email notification (which contains latitude/longitude and its reverse geocoding, so I could know the storm how far from where I am).

    • RE: Hurricane Tracker's update time isn't same as About These Data

      @Filip_K said in Hurricane Tracker's update time isn't same as About These Data:

      Hi @idefix37 and @tomacat, update time in hurricane tracker refers to when actual position of the storm was updated. We do have update times for each forecast, but it is currently not being displayed. These update times are planned for being displayed in the next development iteration of hurricane tracker.

      Looking forward the update plan...

    • RE: How to activate your Live Storm and Heavy Rain Alerts

      @tomacat said in Unable to enable "Live alert": No device token available for notifications.:

      Live Alert mostly push notifications when my mobile network changes. For example, when my mobile Wi-Fi switches to data traffic, it suddenly reminds me of a storm or precipitation, and the notification is too late.

      happened again, the alert notification only push when WiFi network change.:(

    • RE: About Premium

      @Suty said in About Premium:

      @mahmutcoban But we still say that it is the payment for one year. Personally, I would offer only the first option, but still, there are many users who don't want to have their payment details saved somewhere so we came up with the second option.

      e5dc9840-f5e1-48db-93ef-dd0d6730140f-Snímek obrazovky 2025-07-11 v 10.19.50.png

      "One-time payment" could be misunderstand to someone (not me). On somewhere else, it may means "pay once, use forever"... I know windy means "it won't renew next year", if windy changes its words will be better.

    • RE: Windy.com Server Misconfiguration Causes Chinese Users' Startup Location to be Set to London

      BTW, if you don't use Tor, can you access Windy from China without any problems?

      @selverob Yes, I can. (Although it is a little bit slow) I just want to mask my IP address on this post. (Tor can also prove that even if someone is not in China.)

    • Windy.com Server Misconfiguration Causes Chinese Users' Startup Location to be Set to London

      I noticed that the start-up location of Chinese IP addresses is in London.

      2025-07-08_23-14.png

      According to my research, the reason may be that the server of www.windy.com (35.201.88.123, AS396982 Google LLC, Kansas City, Missouri, USA) located in Google Cloud is inaccessible in China [1], so windy switched the resolve in China to b1.windyty.com (139.162.210.148, AS63949 Akamai Technologies, Inc. ,London, England, GB), and the misconfiguration of this server caused the start-up location of all Chinese users to be in London (that is, the geographical location of this server). It can be verified using the curl method [2].

      [1] I don't know the reason, but using the traceroute command, there is no ICMP echo packet outside of China, so it is speculated that it is blocked by GFW.
      [2] Same IP address, different geoip:

      $ torsocks curl https://www.windy.com/ --resolve "www.windy.com:443:35.201.88.123"
      [...]<meta name="geoip" content="45.90.185.109,51.2993,9.4910,DE,">[...]
      
      $ torsocks curl https://www.windy.com/ --resolve "www.windy.com:443:139.162.210.148"
      [...]<meta name="geoip" content="45.90.185.109,51.5095,-0.0955,GB,London">[...]
