Bonjour, l’échelle des couleurs pour chacune des couches est au coin bas droit de l’écran pour le site windy.com et au bas de l’écran pour l’application mobile. Les unités utilisées apparaissent sur cette même échelle. Vous pouvez changer les unités dans Réglages/Paramètres.

That's a clever idea stitch, I like it, it would be nice to have a separate layer that does exactly that so you don't have to mess up the cloud base display to get it, and replace this questionable fog overlay depiction, or at least combine the two of these below 100 ft.
I believe there is a paid plugin on codecanyon that does show this kind of information; I haven't used it myself though so I'm not sure how straightforward it is for novice users.
I'm planning to build a free plugin that allows users to use the existing windy.com widget as a native WordPress widget, and I'll probably include some simple shortcode functionality too. Will keep you updated on it if you're interested. :)
This is something Windy does not provide and is not likely to for various reasons (do a search of threads on this topic).
You'll have to get frontal information from your national weather or flight services website.

IMHO: many years ago, when wx. models provided output only for rain,
it was usefull to have LI, K-index etc, to forecast tstms (or showers).
Now, wx. models (e.g. ECMWF) provide thunderstorm forecasts (light-moderate-heavy), can separate rain-snow-tstms and even provide lightning (density) forecasts.
Those forecasts are considering a lot of parameters (including instability).
I don't think that by consulting one parameter (LI index), I can forecast tstms in a better way than the model which takes into account a lot of parameters.
Personally talking, convective available potential energy (CAPE), already provided by windy, is a better measurement of instability.
