    Great feature - it's made the soaring season way easier to manage.

    @Rene1978 After taking a closer look: Temperature fluctuations indicate that the sensor is functioning. Unrealistically high temperature readings suggest that the sensor may be installed indoors. A sharp drop in solar radiation around noon suggests that the sensor is being shaded by a nearby building. [image: 1792045730754-dda11752-675d-4e5c-8c30-570404d8b6e1-%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C%CE%BD%CE%B1-resized.png] Overall, this PWS appears to be poorly located. I'm not sure whether Windy has an automated quality-control system to detect such issues. I would suggest requiring the owner of every newly registered PWS to provide an email address so that they can be notified whenever a malfunction or an issue with the data quality is detected.

    Thanks for this clear and useful tutorial. The point about providing a direct image URL is especially important, since some webcams may work normally in a browser but block external access or frequently change the image address. For anyone adding a new webcam, it is also worth checking that the image remains publicly accessible without login, the URL stays stable, and the camera updates images regularly. This should make the approval process smoother and help avoid issues when Windy tries to retrieve the images. It is also helpful to have the supported manufacturers and streaming software listed in one place. Thanks for sharing this guide.

    @brodiej I have only just discovered your "Layer Lens" plugin - what can I say ...... brilliant. Some of the recent development being added to Windy is top shelf. I have a request for your layer. Is it possible to include a transparency adjustment? This would be a very useful feature to an already fantastic plug-in. I mocked up an example to illustrate the potential using 30% opacity for the Rain layer on a Surface Wind layer. [image: 1792062920159-f28f1086-221a-4832-b517-aa4248743453-image.png] And/Or, a toggle switch that would alter the Lens window from 100% Opacity to 100% Transparency.
