          Useful for a "broadly indicative" view over an area.

            Nice feature, thank you. Very useful information even for pilots planning cross-country flights due to prediction of turbulence. Thank you

                  Where are you located? During the night there are no thermals.

                        beta

                        This feature is great! What would be awesome too, is the expected thermal strength.

                          After analysis during several months and flying areas, I must say that unfortunately the Thermal layer is almost useless in Argentina. Overly optimistic, usually by many hundreds of meters in all 3 models available

                              Besides refining the forsecast on cloudbase, adding upward velocity and boundry shear are important parameters gliders look at. Good resource: http://www.drjack.info/

                                          It’s good, but need to be able to select different altitudes. On a SKew T chart you can see where the top of lift is going to be. On your charts we’re just getting one value, but we can’t control what altitude we’re selecting that value for.

                                            You can show at same time the local Skew-T chart .
                                            Here the Skew-T that you find in Plugins library (only available on the web site, in the mobile app there is another Sounding type):
