@goney3 Thank you for your feedback! We know about this issue. It should be fixed in the next version of Satellite layer.

In the space of evidence-based politics, Mr DiCaprio is not exactly my first goto-source of knowledge, given that for him foehn is already a consequence of GW:

maybe we can leave out the activism space here? it permeates through any channel conceivable anyway.

Hello, here are some suggestions to you guys:

1. Would it be interesting to have a windshear layer on Windy? Basically a map displaying intensity of wind speed and wind direction changes with altitude, and shear direction. We could thing of one layer from surface up to upper levels, and 3 sublayers : low level shear, mid level shear, upper level windshear.

2. AROME model has been available on windy for a while now. However, it covers more areas than a part of Europe. In fact, it's also working in the Caribbean, Indian ocean and Pacific ocean. It is possible to add those covered areas to Windy?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Stay safe :)

A low pressure (99L) area is moving westwards over the Atlantic and a tropical depression or storm is likely to form during the coming days. Although models don't predict a powerful phenomena, the storm could triggers intense rainfall over the Lesser Antilles and most particularly Dominica which is still recovering from hurricane Maria (Cat5, Sept. 2017).

Dominica is very sensitive to rain, especially after the aftermath of hurricane Maria. In 2015, tropical storm Erika brought intense rainfalls over the tiny island. The resulting floodings and mudslides killed at least 25 people.

As some local media and officials already advised, I think people living in the area of Lesser Antilles/windward islands should monitor carefully this low pressure area.

The 2019 hurricane season has been very quiet so far, at least in the Atlantic bassin! Let's hope it stays like this until October!

Here's something neat: visualize an expected balloon flight in 3D based on a windy trajectory:

The GPX file was created with windy.com and the traj plugin. It includes an ascent and descent phase of 2m/s and level flight at 1500m. The GPX file was then uploaded to ayvri.com (free account required).

The ayvri visualization is based on cesium.js - for the curious, play here: https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=CZML Path.html

@btschumy Hi, the whole composite is created from multiple images from multiple satellites. This is boundary of two satellite images (from Goes West and Goes East). Infra composite is almost perfect, but visible composite suffers many problems especially due to reflections and refractions of the light. We will focus on this in future, but unfortunately some of these visual artifacts can not be completely removed.
