      Hi all,

      thanks to Windy for providing this nice service! I have a request for the colored airport dots (VFR).

      I have seen that airports with good visibility and cloud base but present weather SHRA or TSRA and TCU/CB appear green.

      Although EASA SERA 5001 and 5005 do not prohibit VFR rules in the presence of convective weather as long as the VMC are maintained, I would expect that it should be highlighted to increase awareness and safety.

      I have not seen yellow color yet - maybe the presence of TCU, CB, SH (+other suffix), TS (+other suffix) in the last METAR or similar report can be added to highlight this weather?

      Thanks and best regards!

      During the assimilation phase of the model computation, millions of observations are used. All reports from official weather stations, including those from airports, are used for this calculation, but most data additionally comes from aircraft, radiosondes and satellites.
      As said in this Wikipedia article:
      “ The World Meteorological Organization acts to standardize the instrumentation, observing practices and timing of these observations worldwide. Stations either report hourly in METAR reports,or every six hours in SYNOP reports. These observations are irregularly spaced, so they are processed by data assimilation and objective analysis methods, which perform quality control and obtain values at locations usable by the model's mathematical algorithms.The data are then used in the model as the starting point for a forecast”

      @Ondřej-Šutera Thank You so much. The metar and taf both are visible on VOGA page. Also the airport coordinates and rway data is missing still. How can I update these ?

      SBJH

      Hello, our data provider https://ourairports.com/airports/SBJH/notams.html doesn't have Metar data. You can contact them and suggest adding Metar as well.

      @pedro-vaiz This is a problem of duplicate airport (airport has two ids), try to contact "Ourairports" management by sending an error report about this airport as Windy use their database and has no control over it.

      @lucapenta Hi, glad to hear you enjoy METAR notifications. We may add TAF or NOTAM notifications in the future, if we decide it a priority.

      This would be super handy. There are literally no good metar/taf widgets out there, and if anyone can get it right, windy can.
