<![CDATA[How to read Airgram]]>Temperature

Displayed colors represent temperature in different altitude levels. Temperature values are shown in white figures.

Altitude is expressed as pressure levels

Wind barbs

The length of each barbs indicate the speed of the wind. Long barb stands for 10 knots and short barb for 5 knots.

Wind direction is then indicated by long shaft. Shaft points to the direction from where the wind is blowing.

Hi

It is possible to find somewhere vertical air movement direction and speed?

And also be able to zoom to lower altitudes we are likely to be walking / flying in. For paragliding this website has been made:

https://apps.hilltop-analytics.com/weather/?_inputs_&nav="Hourly Detail"&uiSitePicker="Parlick"&uiColourRed=25&uiForecastModel="DWD_ICON"&uiAltitudeUnits="feet"&uiSpeedUnits="mph"

It has 20,000 views a year despite not been very well known.

White figures indicate temperature values for clarity.

Airgram has different meaning in meteorology.

No, I’m not a administrator of Windy, just a user.
You question is strange because in the menu when you click on Feedback to access the forum, you get the different thread categories of the forum (or may be you need to click on Home).

My question has nothing to do with this topic, but I cannot figure out how to start a new thread. I have been using forums for 20 years, and there is usually a new topic button. Can you help, I see you are an admin. Thanks.

In fact, pressure levels can be converted in mean altitudes or flight levels.
Using Sounding you get directly the mean altitude and the wind speed / direction.

On desktop right tap on your mouse.
In the app long press on screen.
Then click the altitude scale to get speed and direction of wind.
You can reduce the altitude scale to 7000m max.
Use the time slider to change time stamp.

I don’t think this is possible because the weather models outputs are in pressure levels. It is the way how they work, by pressure levels, not by amsl levels.

is it possible to see the altitude displayed as meters above sea level instead of pressure levels? If not, is there a plan to implement this view in the future?

Thank you!
