        Hello,
        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!

          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.

            @idefix37 it would be great for paragliding to work out what wind speed you have at which height. for example if you know that your take-off is at 1500m above sea level then you need to know what kind of wind speed & from which direction is to be expected at that height & above that height. is there another way how to easily find out this info using Windy?

              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.

              1ABB3AC8-0878-479F-A1F7-E0517AC2A623.jpeg

              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.

                      Could you explain how to interpret the airgram at different altitude levels?
                      Thank you

                            @idefix37 Hi, just signed up for windy premium. 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.

                              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).

                                Airgram has different meaning in meteorology.

                                    Visualize temperature variations across altitudes with color-coded representations, enhancing data comprehension. White figures indicate temperature values for clarity.

                                      @Korina I was following our practice, well, the long bar represents 4m/s and the short bar represents 2m/s.Now I know I misunderstood.Thanks.
