      @yves70. Is there any reason why a computer can not draw fronts? It is very repetitive so a Computer algorithm should be able to do it.

        Today, the role of meteorologists is still crucial to draw fronts. We need their expertise to do it even if AI and computer can propose something like here : https://www.nwcsaf.org/asii1
        But the products are not yet very accurate

          To complete my previous post, you can understand that if the institutes making weather models as ECMWF cannot propose something powerful to draw fronts, Windy cannot do it as well !

                  Not to complain about the lack of fronts available. After all, your service is free and wonderful! However I do note that WUnderground.com provides this, with frequent updates. So it IS possible.

                          Yes I know there are several weather app showing fronts.
                          But do you know how they get them? They could have meteorologists in their team.

                            @idefix37 @Tomber42 As exlained on their website, they have a team of meteorologists collecting and analysing data. This is the reason why they can draw fronts

                              There is coded version of the Bracknell frontal analysis in WMO FM45 IC45 code which covers Europe and the North Alantic and which is updated every 6 hours.

                              Not sure its possible to add it to your charts though but it may be worth taking a look,
                              thanks,
