numbers (show values option)
-
Sometimes I struggle to figure out the values of some of the colour charts on the Windy app.
Is there a feature (or could there please be one in the future) to turn on and off, weather station values for the overlay in use?
Eg: rainfall
an option to have the actual rainfall amount appear as a number when the button is toggled.
Eg: temperature
an option to have the actual current temperature appear as a number when the button is toggled.This would really only work at certain zoom levels, I'm sure.
I know I can click on each location (but the spot I click is never the same as where the dot appears, so I end up having to type in the station name in Search), but a quick "show values" would make it heaps easier to get a quick run of current temps/rainfall at all stations in a single view (rather than guessing from the value closest to the colour shown). -

Layers of temperature, rain, wind…are based on forecasts by the weather model. So showing observed values at weather stations would not help when you look at the next days prediction. Weather stations provide the reported values, not the predicted ones.
But if you turn on Forecasted weather you get the predicted values at each town and at each favorite location.
In website see More layers in bottom right corner of your screen.

I was looking for a current weather observations overlay (like with rainfall accumulation and temperature)
I’m not very good at understanding forecasts beyond the basic numbers, and the colour chart is not an exact indication.
At the moment I have to find each location, one at a time (see image)

Rainfall accumulation or temperature overlays are not observation overlays, unless you select Reported temperature or Reported wind.
