Ventusky introduces a major new update — full-resolution ECMWF data at 9 km with time steps as short as one hour. This significantly increases the accuracy of all displayed meteorological parameters, whether it’s temperature, precipitation, wind, or pressure fields.

What happened to the ECMWF maps between January 2021 and November 2025? These were previously accessible. Good that the ECMWF model now has snow depth, and the snow map seems more detailed than ICON map. It would be nice to add all ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis parameters up to 1950 to this site.

They are available only in the lower-resolution ECMWF model, which we have discontinued. Therefore, they are no longer available. In the future, we may add them from the ERA reanalysis.

I have Version 50 Beta on my android phone and the description of the latest update includes ECMWF 9km. But the actual model name remains at 22km.

Maybe next update.

Could you please send us a screenshot? Version 50 Beta already uses ECMWF 9 km. Thank you!

I see — you need version 50.1 for that. It might take some time before it’s processed and available on all devices.

That is great. Thank you. In other apps, the data is often only available every three hours and with reduced resolution. Here, it’s now beautifully shown hour by hour. :love:

This web is better and better. I’m looking forward to seeing it in the app. For now, I can see it only on the website.

E vocês pretendem adicionar o LI e o SRH também no ECMWF? seria muito bom

At the moment, we do not plan to add these two layers.

At least, the hourly steps are in the early part of the forecast period, like 4 days, then back to 3-hourly steps after that. I like the hourly steps; this is a trend I have seen on other websites and I think the GFS was one of the first ones to go hourly steps to 120 hours or 5 days out.
