True. You have to click on the hurricane tracker option inside Windy. Then you can see all of the numbered and named storms, and then click on them individually to see details.
Now, I am not saying that Otis is real... just that it is, indeed, on Windy.
No, actually it's not. It's just the Hurricane tracking page that shows the various storms in the waters around the world. If you click on the storm button in the left panel (using my laptop, not phone), you focus on that storm. Click on Otis and it will show the Cat # at various stages in its path. It went from a 1 to a 5 overnight (which, again, I am not claiming is true) according to their path. Not gusts. Just Cat #'s.
Yes, it is. Look at the vertical category list along the RHS and Wind Gusts is the chosen (underlined) category for the shown map. Your link text even spells it out “…Otis?gust…”
There's a lot of info on that page. If you look at the moving circle it has (had ) a number on it as a category.
That is all I am saying. Whether or not they are using high altititude wind gusts to determine the Cat #, or not, I have no clue. That site is naming the Cat of the storm on the animated dot.
Dude, what are you looking at? If you go to https://windy.com/-hurricane-tracker/hurricanes/Otis?gust,12.662,-100.854,5 you'll see Otis as a "2" inland of the Acapulco Bay.
It's showing now... wasn't before.
EDIT: OP's link and your link appear to be different... not sure why. Wind gusts vs average wind speed?

Your link is for gusts. The category of a hurricane is based on sustained winds, NOT wind gusts.
