      I can't find anywhere that windy tells you what elevation each model is modelling for the location that you have selected. This is critical information for estimating freezing levels.

        The only place where you can find this information is in Sounding. Make right click on mouse or long press on screen on mobile.

        It is called model altitude. But it is unfortunately only available for ECMWF model. That would be very useful to have this information shown for each model to know which is the best one at a location in mountain.
        It would be better to have this information in point forecast table as suggested here:

          @idefix37 thank you. I agree. It would be very useful if for each model windy.com told you the model elevation for the spot you have chosen. Spotwx.com does this at the top of the page of meteograms. For mountain guiding purposes (which is why I use windy) freezing level is critical.
