As of today, March 25th, 2022. ACCESS model has been added to windy and it's only the local model that was added, the global model wasn't added. Feel free to enjoy looking on the new model and it extends off 10 days.

RE: Adding Hi Res ACCESS C Weather Model
It's not a bad idea. This model is very accurate and also if this model is to come out, the global ACCESS-G model should also be added as well.

RE: Windy acquires majority stake in Meteoblue - What to expect?
@anthony10 I think you seem very interested in windy seeing a massive overhaul. I just received a new overlay today, Radar+, which includes satellite and radar all in one, this is one of the things you wanted, windy has it. The heatmaps were also added about a week ago. Also, your ideas are really ambitious and creative. It would likely take months if not years for Windy to receive more of the Meteoblue content, and also not all things would be on Windy anyways.
The only one thing I would like Windy to keep is the customized color scales for overlays, even if you may have to put it to premium in the future, I would like this feature to always remain and never removed. If the custom color scales were to be removed, windy would lose a lot of it's active users and things would go downhill and be challenging to maintain. Anyways, the future looks bright, though don't expect all of the changes you outlined to be coming in the next several weeks.

RE: Changing the weather radar reflectivity color palette
I would like to have this feature available in Windy for radar mode. It is a benefit that we can customize color palettes for overlays for Windy. Every other website doesn't have this option. I know that the radar is left out sadly. Windy, please add the overlay color palette option for Radar. I am totally with you in your proposal.

RE: New Format On PC Terrible
@PeterG-4, If you think windy website and the things appear too big, try to widen out the website using the Ctrl and scroll your mouse to 75% or 80% rather then 100%, this should be a big help to improving your windy experience. You have a great day.

RE: Total precipitable water
This is a great suggestion. I know it can bring valuable use to windy. This layer can basically use the entire atmospheric column and then imagine if all that air condenses, that would be how much rain it could fall down. This also can be used for determining if it's a tropical rainstorm or a more temperate/wintry storm.

Proposed Improvements to Alerts
Hi Windy. I have a few proposals to make the alerts feature more robust:
- For the temperature alerts, as of now, it can't be set for any lower threshold below -20°C. Could you look into allowing a lower threshold for issuing extreme cold, especially for users that live in extremely cold environments or are very acclimated or resilient to extreme cold conditions.
- For precipitation alerts, could you all look into adding the one hour option, as well as also being able to set alert thresholds that go up over 100mm. This would be especially helpful for those living in tropical, equatorial, and monsoonal climates, while also helpful for convective summer thunderstorms. Also, another idea could be to put multi-tier warnings, like 50mm in 1 hour, 70mm in 3 hours, and 100mm in 6 hours for the same alert?
- For snow alerts, could you also do something similar to precipitation alerts, with more customizable features, and also include possibility for also adding 72 and 120 hour options along with one hour option like I said earlier for rain?
-
In addition to these proposed improvements I said, It would be a great idea to also include alerts for other parameters, such as relative humidity, dew points, wet bulb, wind chill/prescribed temp (if you decide to implement it in the future), fog, thunderstorm intensity, fire weather, air quality, and more.
-
Another idea, how about making alerts that require more then one layers to come together, such as freezing fog (30°C with dew point of >16°C), and such. These more advanced or customized alerts features could be a part of premium while keeping basic alert creations free.
Any thoughts to these improvements I have proposed? Out of all these proposed changes, I think the most important right now would be lowering the extreme cold alert threshold.

RE: How to read Meteogram
@Thierry04 In terms for the color code for temps, the default one windy uses does not mean the average temp, but one scale used as a global average. We can change the temperature colors on the windy map. There's one scale I enjoy using and have used it for 5 years now. If you want to change your temperature colors, you could go on Windy, then press on the top right corner where it says "menu", then press settings, it's on the left of where it has 8 different things, then after that, scroll down to where it says "customize color scale", then after that, you should be able to change the scale to the desires you wish to have it on.

RE: New Cam Not Added
@ZimSupport I am sorry to hear about your webcam not being added. I know I am not any staff or support team of windy, but do feel very bad for you. I did some coordinate looking and you had a webcam you wanted added to windy coming from the village of Checheche in Zimbabwe not far from the border of Mozambique, only 28km. I see other webcams in the area as well, but there is never too many webcams, in fact, having more is better. I am encouraged to hear about webcams coming from a very underdeveloped country. This just shows that the world is developing and that the world is becoming closer and that we can see and connect with these regions better. I hope that your camera get's put to windy soon and that you also add more in the future as well.

RE: No funciona la capa de acumulado de lluvia??
@virpz Don't regret it. Ever since I got premium over a year ago, and used it as a free member for several years almost daily, this has never happened to me before. I know there were minor and a few outages in between, but they all are rare. Maybe windy is overhauling the accumulation layers and instead of having an option for 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 5 days, 10 days, it would be on each hour or three hours just like for all of the other layers.

RE: Snow Line (MASL)
That would be a great parameter to have. Even though Windy already has a lot, they still lag a little behind on others. A feels like temp, wet bulb globe temp, severe weather parameters like cape, cin, wind shear, vertical precip, reflectivity, and more, and snow line like you said. I also would like freezing rain, sleet, ice pellet accumulation parameters as well as snow ratios using the kuchera formula.

RE: Climate Change and Heat Stress Impacts
@idefix37, I know that some parameters don't exist. I am sure we can calculate using multiple parameters to bring this layer to live. It will take some work to implement.
