        On the Meteogram, what does the letter 'K: at the cloud base mean ? I have it set to show it on feet, but soem shows for example 17K

          @mark-mansfield I think it means thousands (of feet) altitude.I think

            @jp_windy65535 thank you, that does make sense, but then why does some heights show as feet , for example 6900, and others as 15K for example?

              Hi, Precipitation is indicated in mm (millimeters) as I understand the intensity of precipitation? Or accumulation? if intensity, then probably the dimension is mm/minute? And if so, then it can be daily, semi-daily. can you clarify? Привет, осадки, указаны в мм ( миллиметры) это как понимаю интенсивность осадков? Или накопление? если интенсивность, то наверное размерность мм/минуту ? И если так, то она может быть суточная, полу суточная. можно уточнить?

                It is not the intensity of precipitation per minute. It is the rain forecast during 3 hours.

                  Hi! What does the number in the convective mean? Is it a probability of lightnings somehow? If there is 1.4 for example does it mean 1.4 mm of convective rain? Is there a way to predict the change of lightning somehow? Is 1.0 very little or a lot? Many thanks already! Windy is the best weather app :)

                    @timoti Hello, the number indicates what amount of rain is from convective origin.

                      Hi @Korina is it possible to display the "rain" and "convective rain" as a daily sum? For example, in the Figure shown below, the accumulated rain for martes 14 (tuesday) would be 15,4 mm of rain and convective rain. In case your answer is no, do you have a Python library which could advice me by solving my rerquirement.

                          @sochagota Hello, there is no way to display those values as daily sum. The alternative is to use Rain accumulation layer.

                            ¿@Korina, puedo obtener la información o datos en una tabla en lugar de un gráfico?

                                    @Yves70 Would it be better to use 'Fraction of cloud cover' instead of 'Relative humidity'?
                                    Like the difference between Figure 2 (rh) and Figure 3 (cc).

                                        It depends but both infos are of course very useful. As ypu can clearly see in both graphs, there is, fortunately, a correlation ! RH has the advantage to be easyly available and largely used

                                          Could someone explain to me the meaning of the shaded colors in both the wind speed line and the cloud base line, please?

                                            Stronger winds and lower cloud base are color shaded.
