See the part at bottom right. The temperature scale is in Farenheit.
2 questions:

  1. Is Satellite view supposed to show temperature of different areas over the past some hours?
  2. why is temperature range negative?

temperatures of cloud tops.
With the picker you can see the temperature, if it is less than -33C (-27 F).
By default, Windy "colorize" temps less than -27F (dark blue

That makes sense. But, How do u use the temperature of cloud tops? i.e. what temperature range implies what weather effect on the ground in general?

  1. INFRA+ sattellite images, show brightness temperatures of cloud tops.
