Additionally
On Windy, you can customize the color palette for wind and gusts and use, for example, these modified colors:
With several advantages:
No similar colors for different wind speeds.
Light winds are displayed by light colors while strong winds are shown by denser, darker colours for an intuitive approach. However beyond 64 kt (120 km/h or 12 Bf or Hurricane force), rather than being darker, the colors become very clear « like LED lights ».
Up to 64 kt, colors match the Beaufort scale.
Beyond 64 kt, colors are chosen according to degrees used by NHC (Cat.1, Cat.2...).
Each wind range is represented by a uniform colour without shading or smoothing, with only a small mixing transition

Note that you must be logged in to apply these settings in your Windy cloud. These new settings will be applied on all your devices.
Then you can use the wind speed units that you like ...kt...km/h...mph...m/s... bft
Try to use these new colours during at least one week. If you like them, keep them. If you don’t like, you can come back to the default Windy settings by pressing Load default
