Improve table accessibility
-
The color contrast in the table below does not meet accessibility guidelines. When combined with the small font (especially in the wind gusts row), it's very difficult to read for a LOT of people. Approximately 1 in 6 men suffer from some form of color blindness so adhering to the accessibility guidelines is really important for that audience.
Windy is a fantastic app/site, so thanks for that!

Hi,
Further to this user's demand, I add another one.
Today the Windy website shows several modifications/improvements including ICON a new global weather model from DWD, different from ICON-EU which was already available for Europe. But this is not the reason of my post.
Now the alerts appear with small bells in the forecast diagram.But the red colour is so pale, they are almost impossible to be seen !
The previous red colour for alerts was ok, using same red colour as labels at bottom of page:

HI @idefix37, thank you for your suggestion!

Hello,
Like you, I find it difficult to read wind speed (especially gusts). Has your request been taken into account? I'm afraid not.
It seems to me that accessibility options should be included on the application as well as on the widget. On the website, I just zoom in, if necessary. It's not ideal, but it does the job!
Windy is my favorite weather app...by far! Too bad I have trouble using it without my prescription glasses.
