You can already use the CAPE index layer to help you to predict thunderstorms

@hamilton_lv
Weather forecast don’t come from Windy but from the weather model you use. First thing to do is to compare the different models available with Windy to understand which model is the best for your area

@karimwindy
No, Windy doesn’t propose yet historical data

@andy1324
Did you try different weather models ? Depending of the location, this is common to see differences, sometimes big, between the models

@greatkingnan
In the different maps or layers, what you see is the total of rain. In the detailed meteogram, however, you see the split with the convective rain

@greatkingnan
The rainfall in the basic meteogram, for non Premium users, is the accumulation of the last 3h, for Premium users it can be displayed by 1h
This is the total of rain

No, ICON is made and updated by the German weather institute DWD

@authozara
Helix Barani is a very good weather station, super easy to install, no need of electricity (equiped with solar panel) neither wireless (use the Sigfox network)

I gave you an asnwer in another post

@baldo1191
As I said above, data from the meteogram and data from the rain accumulation map, even if they are both coming from the same weather forecast model like ECMWF, they don't come from the same calculation within the model. On top, you have the smoothing effect from the app. Therefore results can be different. This is interesting because if you calculate the same thing by 2 different ways and results are the same, probability is high that the result is correct

@martijn-koenders
Have you tried to activate the isobars with the desktop version (be sure you are connected with your account) and see if it can help ? Be aware that if you go to the satellite view, isobars will be removed

@sreekanthm
Why do you say that ? How do you check the rain forecasting ?

@mohammad-64
I don’t see it from my side,… Do you have screenshots ?

@baldo1191
I understand that you can be surprised to see those differences although you should not.
There are different elements :

1. the figures after the coma have not a lot of meaning so 7.4mm could be easily 8mm and on 9.8mm could be easily 9mm. Of course it could be 7mm and 10mm as well
2. what the picker is showing is rain accumulation, this is the equivalent to the data from the map called rain accumulation. The data in the meteogram and data from rain accumulation are both calculated by the model, meaning that by definition you can get different values knowing that on top of this difference, Windy is smoothing the data which will also affect a bit the data.
   The conclusion is that you should take that as a nice opportunity to get 2 sets of data for rain accumulation, so in your example you can guess that rain accumulation could be somewhere in the middle so around 8.5mm. It is a bit the same approach as comparing the data from 2 different weather models

@baldo1191
This is because the level of rain expected is below the minimum threshold.
In general, below 0.3mm you can hardly notice that it is raining

@maxchiu
Do you mean that the forecast is misaligned with your observation ?
What did you use for your observation ?
Have you tried different models to compare with the observation ?

@krisk6
This is not possible yet to change the default model when you open the app. It is ECMWF
