Why can't the colours in the widgets?
I would love it for the many widgets on my own website!
Can you add this please, that would be awesome!
It looks me not difficult.
Thank you in advance, ;)
The settings don't save alsoo...

Tieske

I agree with you! These widgets are really great..

I've customize this color scale based on wind force and hurricane scales. Red is used for tropical storm/gale force winds, as the winds are dangerous enough to produce certain damages. Light white/purple indicates hurricane force winds (Category 1), and grey is used for major hurricane (Category 3). Dark blue indicates winds for jet stream and other extremely rare winds.

There are ligth thunder and thunderstorms color in color scale for type of precipitation. Why are they not used?

@Damir120505 Hello, what do you mean exactly? You can customise colors for each layer.

There are used. If no lightning is forecast by the model, Windy cannot show colors !

Damir120505

Theese layers aren't used.

OK that’s clearer with a screenshot. There is no obvious reason to have these lines and colors in the Precipitation type color scale.
Developers should have a look at it.

@Damir120505 @idefix37 Hi, this does not look as screenshot from Windy.com. What browser do you use?

@Korina
It is a screenshot from Windy. Same as you I was on the point to give the same reply.

Korina

@idefix37 Yes, but the UI is different.

@Korina

I don’t know why the UI is different, but you can check by yourself

Korina

@idefix37 Thank you, I can see it now, we will have a look at this.

The colors of Precipitation type layer can be now customized. That was not the case one year ago. See the post of @Miguelito67 here above who was asking this feature.
https://community.windy.com/topic/10336/customize-the-color-scales-of-windy-layers/3

So it is a recent change.

I'm using Google Chrome.

I adjusted the color scale so that it shows jet streams.

Interesting, but at sea surface you ignore the winds below 40 knots !

Hi I've already customized few layers, but I can't find the meteoradar layer in the list. Why it can't be customized?
I've always wanted to change the colour for storms that exceeds 60dBz.
It helps to recognize poverfull storms which could produce hails and other dangerous things.
Thanks for the answer.

@pep2406 Weather radar scale cannot be customised, but thanks for the feedback.
