<![CDATA[Windy.com brings high visibility satellite layer]]>How to make good even better? Make it more visible to human eyes.

Our original satellite layer offered (as a default) images from the visible spectrum, which means we presented the data "as is" straight from the satellite camera. This gave us the full detail. But for most of us, it was hard to distinguish countries, seas, oceans, and lakes. We have left "Visibility" as an option, but we have added the "Blue" spectrum that uses a false-color range as a default.

From our point of view, the changes are magnificent. It enables us to understand weather patterns to an even broader audience.

This feature was brought to you by our whole Windy team. But being honest, most of the work was done by Milan, our WebGL guy. So kudos to him.

Yes that's right, the previous INFRA layer has disappeared. Only INFRA+, now called IR in the mobile app, is shown with the colorised low temperatures of high cloud tops.
What does the old infra red layer without color really was bringing?

With such a quality the widget is not really useful.

These layers are available in the phone app too. You just need to click the 3 dots at right side of the time line.

Jest teraz widzialny , niebieski blue oraz infra plus a czy sama infra można ? Bez kolorów ?

Looks great. Thank you.

I like the new details of how the cloud cover is presented. It seems that the nighttime side is brighter, too, than the older visible nighttime side.

We are going to implement the 3D feature but right now we can't promise all layers, including satellite, will be included.

Would it be possible in the future to add another layer called "True" colour (if licensing allow this).
The himawari 8 satellite has a great True Colour view that is beautiful.

It looks like a smart combination of Infra and Visible. This is like the 'classical view' some other websites offer, but much much better! Using the smooth animation it's even more impressive.

You confirm it is a visible satellite view but color enhanced, correct ?
I was a bit confused because the difference between day and night map is not that much so initially I though it was INFRA with a color treatment
This is key to know because visible images, color enhanced or not, gives info about the thickness of the clouds while INFRA gives us info about the height of the clouds
