Windy.com introduces soaring forecast

thank you for having thermal option
it would be great if it has borders or much different colors for every like 1000 meter
so we dont need to put marker to see like the highest point -
@feisal
You can customise the colors as you like:https://community.windy.com/topic/16458/windy-com-introduces-soaring-forecast/102

Thermals very good!

Please advise how Windy computes the numerical altitude shown on the thermal display. In a skewt plot is it the altitude at which the dry adiabat intersects the ambient air, or is the the altitude at which the dry adiabat is located 3 degrees centigrade to the right of the ambient air mass, which is the "3-degree spread" and the conventional standard for measuring achievable height in thermal soaring in gliders? Thanks.

@idefix37 said in Windy.com introduces soaring forecast:
Even if the knowledge of sailors on the thermal is not so thorough, they know at sea the reasons for the coastal breezes.
By the way, just as a side note, sea breeze is not created by the thermals glider pilots talk about, but rather by the general thermal warming of landmass vs sea. You can have lots of sun and heat but bad thermals on an overheated day. This will give a strong sea breeze and lousy thermals then. This is the difference of macroscopic vs microscopic thermal effects.
That beeing said, are there improvements / more details planned as requested in the previous Posts?
