How to read Meteogram
-
That's a very helpful guide for a beginner like me with the app. Now some noob questions -
a. I didn't quite get the Shaded area description
b. how do I check that there's only high clouds at a site and say in the direction of sun no low/middle clouds
c. how do I check for cloud inversion from a hilltop in a valley. sometimes its also referred as low clouds / fogs but following that had me stuck in thick fog on hillsthanks so much in advance.
kind regards

Hi,
a. Which shaded area are you referring? In Meteogram the explanation is given in posts here above.
b. Check High, Medium and Low clouds layers. If necessary see More layers... The direction of the sun is given by a plugin only available on website. Menu > Install plugins > Sun position
c. You probably mean in case of temperature inversion, which brings a cloud / fog layer below the inversion. You can check that by using the Sounding feature. Right click on mouse.
- Temperature inversion when the temperature (red curve) is increasing with altitude instead of decreasing.
- Clouds when temperature and dew point are close together (red and blue curves)
Note that the weather model can only show this phenomenon at large scale but not in local conditions like in a mountain valley.

First of all, we should get the confirmation about the exact meaning of the shades of grey. Is it humidity level or cloud cover ? High level of humidity doesn’t necessary mean clouds -
@cougar83
Grey shades in the meteogram are linked to relative humidity, not cloud cover -

That's great. What if I want to plan sailing from the Chesapeake to the Grenadines, a few months in advance. Is there historical data?

@fhamilton36
No Windy does not provide historical data.
Better to use the Pilot Charts than verifying days after days what was the weather during the last 10 or 20 years:

Hello!
If there is rain in the Meteogram at 4AM, does it mean it will rain from 1AM to 4AM, from 2:30AM to 5:30AM or from 4AM to 7AM? Thank You!
