      I love the 3D version! I've been thinking that Windy needs one and surprise, surprise, here it is! :D

      3D works great, very smooth on Firefox, even better than 2D (where the browser feels like struggling with rendering the map).
      The only con of 3D on shows country names, which is nice but is distracting and makes it harder to analyze the data beneath. I wish I could turn off/on those names.

                        @idefix37 I am using Chrome on Mac.

                        So it’s very strange. I’ve try with my old Mac OS 10.6.8. Same issue with Clouds layer.

                          Hi,
                          It's great! I live on the top of Eire on the edge of the North Atlantic, exposed to East-North-West and I always find it helpful and interesting to take a wader view (it helps to 'see what's coming' ... and I very much like seeing the weather on our sphere: Our Planet EARTH! ... with it's hemispheres in proportion and in balance, comparable, with it's wider and narrower circles that the weather has to move in ... it all makes complete sense! In an unfortunate time when so many other things make much less sense ;-)
                          I really enjoyed 'EARTH' (earth[dot]nullschool[dot]net - long before Windy was just a gleam in your eye. (I remember years ago when you acknowledged Earth[site] as an inspiration I'm very pleased that you have added this capability to Windy. . It's very good.
                          btw: I have no problem with cloud view or any other when I use 'Vivaldi' or 'Web' browsers. It all works really nicely. Having said that I use Linux with plenty of grunt, which is an advantage.
                          Each year 'our' weather is changing and seasonal climatic history becomes less and less useful ... and you (Windy.com) are becoming more and more useful as things change.
                          Thank you very much Windy!

                              I have tried without logging in, with Chrome and with Safari... same result.
                              But with Firefox it works !

                                      What a wonderful app. I nearly became a meteorologist in the Australian Navy. Always interested in the weather. Now I fly the MS Flight Simulator and your app helps with flying in real-time. I haven't seen a weather app as good as this anywhere on the internet. It is my No.1 go-to app for weather. Great job, Windy. Cheers from Sydney, Australia.

                                          It would be nice to be presented reasons for using the 3D mode over the 2D. Instantly the 3D mode felt less useful to me, but it could be because the lack of feature parity.

                                          From this thread I would say the biggest usage would be to properly see the poles.

                                          On another note the "Rain, thunder" layer does not update when "playing" the weather prediction, but this is probably expected. I don't imagine many users will want to use 3D mode except for some specific cases. I would suggest the team to not focus hard on this feature.

                                            @lf94 Hello, the layer "Rain,Thunder" does update when the time slider is played.
