Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

Yes, the tech you can buy for a few $s these days is amazing. From chino venders you can get ESP dev boards for about $5 (though you may have to toss a few)....for about $10-15 you can buy from a...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

A bit breezy here in the SW Carib too! Easy enough to check, just stick your head outside...get a good grip on your hat first!

I think a lot of amatuer weather stations have poorly located...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

Yes, automating it should be relatively straight forward. Which forecast model is being compared in your graph?

This could be a great tool for sailors. Let them choose a spot where actuals are...

But, spot comparisons,...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

Cool, I havent used that feature on Windy...will check it out.

I agree that different models seem to be better for diff locations. I did a crossing last year where we used Chris Parker for routing...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

Yes, there are techniques for doing this comparison, but I dont know of anyone who has invested the time to do an in depth comparison of the forecast tools to actuals. For example, is PW's PWE (which...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

Ive not seen a direct in depth comparison of the two (like comparing forecast accuracy over time), but PW also has access to ECMWF as does Windy. ECMWF is a highly regarded private sector model now...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

Yes, it would be great if Windy would add GRIB viewing capabilities, but their official response is that it presents liscencing issues. This really only applies to ECMWF, but they make it as a...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

No problem, to each his own. Just pointing out that it does have sea state.

However, there is an important difference between the two: Passage Weather, like many other such services, only uses...

Re: Windy.com. Wow!!

You can view forecast data for...
