      For each layer, you can click on the clock in the low right corner. You get the information about the data including the provider, the update interval, the resolution and the last and the next update.

      The Active fires layer is not the only one that is not in « real time »

      Also, take a look at the Smithsonian's Eruptions, Earthquakes, & Emissions player/viewer as well, to help complete the picture of active geological activity on Earth.

      "The Smithsonian's "Eruptions, Earthquakes, & Emissions" web application (or "E3") is a time-lapse animation of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes since 1960. It also shows volcanic gas emissions (sulfur dioxide, SO2) since 1978 — the first year satellites were available to provide global monitoring of SO2. The eruption data are drawn from the Volcanoes of the World (VOTW) database maintained by the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program (GVP). The earthquake data are pulled from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Catalog. Sulfur-dioxide emissions data incorporated into the VOTW for use here originate in NASA's Multi-Satellite Volcanic Sulfur Dioxide L4 Long-Term Global Database."

      Source: https://volcano.si.edu/e3/

      Eruptions, Earthquakes, & Emissions player/viewer is here:
      https://volcano.si.axismaps.io/

      Windy provides forecasts of global emission of such sulfur dioxide (SO2) gases, from both geological and human sources.

      Precipitation of solid sulfur from a vent of volcanic water and gas, called a fumarole:

      Mining of sulfur (Freeport Sulphur Co., Hoskins Mound, Texas in 1943).

      Natural 'massive' sulfur mineral precipitate, deposited from evaporated water that contained a lot of dissolved sulfur in it:

      Jupiter's moon Io is completely covered in volcanic emissions and resulting yellow sulfur deposits, which are constantly changing as the moon is continuously resurfaced with every new major eruption (which are almost constant):

      Images from Wikipedia public imagery sources.

      Thus sulfur, in the form of atmospheric SO2, is a natural part of the planet's atmosphere and also its crustal mineralogy. But it's also produced as a component of human industrial processes. It can become a locally intense plus also a regionally diffuse chronic pollutant. Especially in and from China due to China's extremely poor and even dangerous air quality within cities and industrial areas. This occurs mainly due to China's almost non-existent SO2 emission control, or else a lack of enforcement of pollution emissions standards within China. Many major Russian cities and industrial sites are also almost as bad, but not as concentrated in areas affected, compared to China.

      SO2 gas emissions forecast in China tomorrow, on Windy:

      Natural sulfur dioxide SO2 gas emissions constantly occur from chains of hundreds of volcanoes all around the Pacific ocean basin's rim.

      https://www.windy.com/-SO2-mass-so2sm?so2sm,39.368,150.381,4,p:off

      Such sulfur emission also occurs underwater from millions of hot hydrothermal springs and 'black smoker' metal sulfide 'chimney' structures. Most of earth's copious SO2 sulfur emission ends up in ocean waters and oceanic sediments. In fact natural sulfuric acid is a component of volcanic and hydrothermal emissions into the ocean and atmosphere.

      Major volcanic eruptions also produce extremely intense emissions of SO2 that can be punched high into Earth's upper atmosphere. So much so that it can produce vivid salmon-pink sunsets due to SO2 which was launched high into the stratosphere, where it stays for a year or so before dissipating. The reflection of light from this SO2 alters the Earth's albedo (external sunlight reflectivity brightness of the planet, when viewed from space):

      A twilight sky can be colored pink via light scattered from volcanic eruptions of copious SO2 gas injected into the stratosphere - from the Calbuco volcano's eruptions, in this case.

      On my iPhone, on the app, I finally found settings (icon under the Home iconas I recently learned). I then scrolled down (also not obvious). I changed from C to F and it automatically asked me to log-in, which I did and the switch stuck. I know I am forgetting something, but the key, in addition to being logged in (on the app on your iPhone!), is to scroll all the way down in Settings to find Save (in red, not grayed out). I did first log into the website, but noticed it was already set to F. Not sure if just then logging into the app made the difference (since settings are supposedly in the cloud) or if actual saving on the app while logged into the app did it.

      @weatherfan said in The Weather Radar Composite Is Growing Across Europe And the World!:

      However, when will sites like blitzortung.org REALLY improve so that more lightning can be displayed, such as the African countries, more of China and India, South America, the IntraTropical Convergence Zone?(ITCZ)?

      Improvements in coverage will become available when users will add more lightening receivers in those areas.
