Hello.

UKV seems to be not loading and gives error "Could not load UKV". I've tried different browsers and devices. I thinking it might not be me?

Thanks

*Edit, seems to be all forecasts except ECMWF and Meteoblue

@BoberGurba said in Can anyone help me ?:

difference between a Wall cloud and a mothership

Hi @bobergurba

'Mothership' is the non-meteorological word for the whole thunderstorm. For example, in the plains in the US, if a supercell forms, you can call it the Mothership.

The wall cloud is a part of the supercell that descends below the thunder that - if correct conditions - a tornado will form beneath coming down from the wall cloud

In this picture, the 'Mothership is the whole cloud and the wall cloud is labeled at the bottom.

Hope it helps!

Same for me. It was first for only few models but now its for ECMWF too.

See my post above

Hi @patrickdrd

Welcome to Windy! I see that you want to get alerts for Metamorphosis to know if the forecast has: Any snow between 20cm - 500cm, Rain 10mm-100mm, Temperature (-60)-60c and if the wind is between 3-12bft. The issue is that Windy treats these conditions as one, so for the alert to trigger, you would have to have all of the weather conditions on the forecast - which the chances are very low.

Instead, create 4 separator Alerts with each one having only one condition; Like

• First Alert: New Snow 20cm-500cm

• Second Alert: Rainfall 10mm-100mm

• Third Alert: Temperature (-60)-60c

• Fourth Alert: Wind 3-12bft

Hope this helps and let us know if it works.

@Pedro-Luiz-de-Souza-Pinto-Filho
I was going to report his as a bug. last week but forgot.

@marekd - some weather stations seems to have that Pressure Icon and some don't. For example:

An Airport in NE England shows the Pressure

While my PWS has never shown it despite it report it. It is still on API v1 though

Bug?

Weather prediction can be hard. 1 small change in the 1st day can lead to major changes 10-15 days out. Forecasts past a week are unreliable but are useful to see what might pan out. To metrologist (Not Me), seeing the general picture is useful.

Even through ECMWF may show a colder period out 12-15 days, this shows that it might be cold but you can't take anything beyond 7 days. Anything beyond 7 days usually shows the general picture, to quite a few people (like me), I read it and "Okay, we might have high pressure next week so it will be mild".

In the UK, around mid-december I saw a colder period around New Year incoming. All I could see was that the temperatures were around 3-5c lower than usual. Not until around 3 days out I started looking at what might happen during this colder period. ECMWF beyond 7 days is good at see what might pan out but take anything it says with a pinch of salt beyond 7 days. Look at the forecast over 3-4 days and if it is saying the same thing then you can assume that but if it changing, there is usually something going on in the atmosphere that is leading to the "jumpy" models

(Experts - Feel free to jump in and correct me)

I hope this shows why forecasts jump a lot

If you have any follow up question, just reply :)

Hello

Several Other Users have reported the problem- https://community.windy.com/topic/43767/compare-forecasts-not-working/3?_=1772735941605

@Wheats said in Suggestion: Annotation:

Especially in a time sensitive situation like weather watch or even just developing a slew of mapped products for an organization. Screenshot-drawing app-dissemination is incredibly time consuming.
Adding this type of capbabilty could make Windy a go-to for operational meteorologist who have to produce and disseminate products to others as well, not just enthusiasts or sailors or pilots etc.

Exactly mine use!

I know this was 5 days ago, but thought I would explain my use case for it. Quite commonly I am showing family/friends weather stuff and circling with a mouse doesn't really help me explain it but for example - if I could highlight an area and then switch to a different layer and then explain it - most people do not have a photographic memory to remember all that data and then try and project it again in their heads on the new data layer

Windy.com has provided an update - https://community.windy.com/topic/43791/problems-with-model-data

@808IUFan

What's wrong with it? How is it unusable?

Hello,

The top of the Meterogram has a blur effect that makes it a wee bit more difficult to see the high altitude cloud. Would it be possible to remove? @suty

Other than that, I really like the new settings for the default forecast that loads up.

Thanks

Hello, thanks

The main forecast map has updated the forecast point spots have not. This is still showing the forecast from yesterday…..

And the main map data only runs to 11pm tonight (Wednesday)

Hello, As title says above.

UKV has not updated since Monday Lunchtime

@Suty

Hello, Thanks for the reply. I suspected that might be the answer but i thought I would ask.

Hello, there was a few old forums on Radar Interpolation but thought I would open up a new one.

It would it be useful to have an option to turn it off, I find it reduces data quality and you get a bluerier image that other apps. I have attached examples below, I have a custom radar colour scale.

Above is Windy (with custom radar colour scheme), of thunderstorms around Edinburgh, Scotland.

Same Area in Netweather.

I see a loss of detail in Windy due to the Interpolation compared to Netweather (and most other radar viewers) and that in Netweather, much more detail around the thunderstorms is visible.

Would this be possible in a future update?

Thanks

@faruktunca

Can you screenshot it? (Please do not post your key or URL as this is private info and if someone wanted, they could do something nasty)

Are you posting data to the weather station?

@Suty

If it's any help towards the suggestion. I believe that ECMWF offers a max / min temperature over 24 hours layer but don't quote me. I'll see if I can find it

UKV might offer it and MOGREPS-UK (UK Met Office Problitic) offers the layers as I've played about if it before.

I've just checked and MOGREPS-G offers a max 3 hourly temperature and the resolution is 20km so is not very good. UKMO (Global UK Met Office Model), provides a 6hr(ly) min/max temperature layer at a resolution of 10km

@mortenhojlund

Hello.

I'm sorry but windy does not have any archive wind data as Windy only provides forecast and the 1 year Radar / Satellite archive.

What location do you need the data for? I might know another website that might help you

@idefix37

100% Realistic 😂

I really do not know how they got that. 2 cold front vertically sitting on top of each other!

@Casale.sam said in wrong on the weather:

Today, Sunday, March 8, the weather in the central maryland area says at 4pm it was going to be winds 12 gusting to 28. The winds could not be more calm. I called Martin State Airport Weather advisory for pilots (which I am) and they were calling 7mph. This is REALLY WRONG. And it was the forecast for times within the next hour or two. If you can't get that right, I need to look for a new app.

Why don't you try and find the weather station for the airport and then click 'Observation vs Forcast' to find the best model for your location.

Yesterday at 4pm, the airport recorded 4mph. You can look along the list to see which one was the closest at that time.

Scroll along a little further and it gives you the average error for the model for the last 5 days so you can compare which one over the last 5 days is more accurate
