      Hi Windy team,

      A few suggestions I'd like to add for the Satellite layers.

      Weatherzone AU - https://www.weatherzone.com.au/layers/ has two layers that many Windy users and myself would love to see added (could be part of the Premium?).

      1 - True Colour Day/Night layer (nothing artificial).
      2 - Ice/Flood/Fire layer (this would help during extreme weather events).

      Hopefully these will be added to future updates to Windy?

      Thanks Team :)

          @anthony10 I have colleagues that use Weatherzone layers and it seems the satellite imagery resolution is much higher than Windy’s….can you confirm this?

            @hoyle That is correct. Weatherzones Satellite imagery is much higher and also has more Layers to select from.

              @anthony10 Hello, satellite images can differ based on how they are displayed.

                I selected roughly the same time (side by side) and the imagery used with Weatherzone (right side) clearly shows more detail from the Haimawari-8 satellite.

                  @anthony10 This is the way we currently filter satellite images.

                    @anthony10 I absolutely agree Korina, I just hope there are future plans to implement 'True Colour' Day/Night imagery from the Haimawari-8 satellite.

                    Plus adding a Ice/Floor/Fire Layer would be incredible for extreme weather.

                    I'm a die hard Windy fan :)
