Although those data (country names) come from same source (openstreet)
they are not the same in windy.com and in windy maps.

Yes I agree that this needs to be done more often. I had previously assumed that this was some type of automatic process, but this seems to not be the case.

As a minimum, monthly updates would seem to be appropriate I think.

Hello, I do agree with you, the update it needed and is planned for the near future.
The process isn't unfortunately automatic and is quite demanding.

@Korina
Is there any update regarding this issue from six months ago?

It it possible to prioritise an update of the base maps from OSM, both now as well as on a more regular basis thereafter?

THANKS :)

@Gkikas-LGPZ
Got it, apologies for my error.

@Korina
I've bumped this issue in the other thread.

Please see the following posts about how the map data for Windy is sourced and displayed from www.openstreetmap.org:

https://community.windy.com/topic/4649/how-to-correct-errors-in-the-base-maps

https://community.windy.com/topic/5564/disputed-territories-on-windy

Please also note: For every language, a different place name label can be displayed, so please choose your correct language and data display.

Further discussion of place name and language issues or disputes should be directed to the OpenStreetMap Forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/index.php > scroll down & select > users: (the relevant country for your dispute and/or question)

In the case of a political dispute please leave such topics out of the Windy forum and instead focus on the discussion of weather.

Thank you for your understanding :)

In the quick menu, right side of your screen, select More layers...Then scroll down and tick Geopotential heights which the heigh at a given pressure. When selected together with Wind at 250 or 300hPa, you get the picture of Jet stream as predicted by the model along the isohypses.

Brownish clouds are lower clouds, and blueish are those at higher level. This is not true colour, it is post-processed by Windy.

K is the brightness temperature of cloud tops in Kelvin.
INFRA is the image in infrared spectrum, INFRA + is the same but colorised.

@UnderwaterSurfer said in PM2.5 is way to high!:

I already tried changing the colors using listings of a 1000 at the high, but it still basically looks the same. It seems the data being used is the really high numbers I listed.

Of course changing the colors does not change the values on the map.

@UnderwaterSurfer
This map is from satellite sensors data and forecast weather model. Where there is an Air quality station it is surely better to rely on it.
Concerning the color scale, you can modify it and add one more step or several above 300μg/m3.
