      This is great to have when you are going on hunt for the northern lights here in Iceland. It will be great to have more than 2 hours back to see how the clouds are moving. Then it will be better to predict what will be in 1 to 2 hours. Thank you for this.

        Nice work!

        Another enhancement function that can serve as an active aid in the fight against the Climate Crisis!

          always like the new updates. one thing, please let us choose larger fonts on the maps, sometimes their too small for us on smaller screens, they should scale with an option.

            I like it, but is a bit too "heavy" to charge.

            I have desktop PC Windows 7 64-bit
            Chrome as browser
            i3 processor 3250
            4GB RAM

                @TomSlavkovsky looks great :) Personally I prefer the new colour scale. But as @Gkikas-LGPZ, says change units isn't working for me either – plus, degrees Kelvin really shouldn't be the default (Celsius should). Speaking of, it's probably unclear to the general user what infra+ actually is (cloud top temperature, right?). Perhaps this could be labelled somewhere?

On a personal level I have been enjoying Windy every day of my life and it has helped me make decisions that are important to me and my life is way better because of your help and I am very grateful. You're smart and you care! Good on you. Thank you!

                        Hello! I really like the new look for the satellite map but the animation seems to play less smoothly than the previous version. Thanks!

                          Very nice job! I was going to say keep the old color scale, but the new one is much easier on the eyes. The new animation seems to be loading less frames than the old one. Overall performance and quality is ok though.

                          The yellowish tone for low clouds/fog and also snow on the visible satellite still looks awkward to me. If a user is looking to distinguish the different levels of clouds, that's what the infrared is for.

                            From a retired Navy meteorologist, looks good so far.

                                This is an excellent upgrade, Tom! Very useful in areas with often out-of-business radar networks like Indonesia.

                                  I love it. Looks beautiful. If you could add the "weather radar" doppler at about 15% visibility as an over/under lay... Just curious. I think both are valuable tools for the armchair weather forecaster like myself. I do a lot of traveling on my motorcycle. Not afraid of rain, but if I can plan...

                                    Fantastic!! Congratulations, it helps a lot understanding the type of actual and expected weather

                                        @johnckealy I guess "infra+" means infrared+rain. It seems to be combined with radar detection data, since if you check "Radar" view on some rainy region you should see the matching of both views regarding rain clutter.
                                        For me this is the best enhancement from Windy.com since my country Morocco was and still (for some dumb/incompetence reason) lacking Radar coverage for public use. Radar is the most vital feature in case of bad weather especially when you board the Atlantic! :)

                                          Great layers, just looking over Cyclone Bulbul Warning
                                          northwest and adjoining westcentral Bay of Bengal; from the start it was Typhoon Matmo....

                                          Question is why it has different still old name Matmo on the Hurricane tracker...as it is already Bulbul...maybe to mention both...

                                             Stunning and realistic colors., More level of details, New color scale and Data optimization.        I Love Animated Maps as they allow me to plan my Day. There may be Gaps in Bad weather at times when it's best to get out shopping, errands, etc. Very Handy Maps! Thank-You Paul Forster
