Premium is meant to give latest data, it doesn't seem any different to free version. I can never get up to date model runs. For example, it is 0900 on 25/8/25. ECMWF has model run of 1800 on 24/8/24 next update at 25/8/25 0000. I would expect to have 0600 by now. For ICON EU which is every 3 hours, What does (next update 0600 UTC - prepare mean). At what time can I expect to see the 0600 data.

The ECMWF model will undergo a major update this autumn regarding its data policy and update frequency. By the end of autumn, this will also bring significant changes to its availability on Ventusky. In general, when a model update is listed at, for example, 00 UTC, it means that the model’s computation started at that time. For global models, the calculation itself can take up to 6 hours. We always download the latest data, but even on our side, processing them takes several tens of minutes. ICON EU now has new data from model run 06:00 UTC. The 09:00 UTC run is currently being processed and will be available shortly.

ECMWF - Does that mean you will bring higher resolution, more frequent updates, and more layers? Or what specific changes will there be?

Ventusky
Are you still working on the ecmwf update? Especially higher resolution. Thanks :)

It depends on when ECMWF releases the all data sets. It was supposed to be this fall, but in the end it will be in the late of 2026.

So at the moment, you cannot change the ECMWF resolution from 22 km to 9 km? Do we need to wait for new ECMWF data sets?
Because I have seen that some other websites already use the ECMWF high-resolution (9 km) version.
Thank you :)

We looked into it more closely and in theory it could be available within a few weeks (but we’re not promising anything ;-) ). We’re preparing a major update, so we’ll see if it makes it in.

Great! Thanks for the information!

I'm using a PC, and all cities have vanished; unless I zoom in completely. Most of the controls mentioned is discussions seem to be for apps on phones or pads. How do I display cities again?

Thanks
