          The radiosonde for Vernon, BC Canada is displaying that is the San Diego Miramar, US location. The Lat Lon is correct but the label is not.

            What a great tool! Would it be possible to add in a CAPE value also?

              @bizhertzberg Hi, thanks for the suggestion. For a more detailed evaluation of atmospheric instability, it would definitely be useful to include the CAPE index value in the sounding. I’ll check with my colleagues to see if that would be possible. Have a nice day, Jari

                Dear Windy Team,

                I will appreciate so much if clouds simbols were added when moving temperature selector.

                Many Thanks in Advance,
                Juan Carlos

                  There is still a problem with scrolling the sounding chart in 47.1.3 on a Mac Sequoia. I have tried it on both Safari and Chrome. While it is possible to pinch zoom the chart using a track pad that puts the current temps off screen. I have not figured out a way to zoom the temperature axis. Horizontal scroll does not work. If you have be careful with pinch zoom on a trackpad as that also invokes another mac function.

                  I seem to recall that before about last month when you zoomed the sounding zoomed to full screen. That no longer happens

                    @Robert-Hawley Hello, it will be fixed in the version 48. Our devteam is already aware of this.

                      Hallo, ich habe eine Frage. Ist es möglich, dass die Höhen im Sounding auch in AGL und für die höheren Schichten in FL angezeigt werden, oder das man es Umstellen kann, damit man direkt Wolkenober- und untergrenzen ablesen kann?

                        @marekd manca il riferimento orario a cui si riferisce il sondaggio, che è essenziale.

                          Funciona muy bien, practica y con buena estimacion en cuanto al viento en la zona de cordillera centeral en mi caso.

                            Hello!
                            Professional aviation forecaster here with 20+ years of experience.
                            You did a really great job with skew-T visualization, but there is one really important feature I am missing. The air parcel curve should initially start from profile surface temperature and dewpoint (reflecting SBCAPE profile), or even more realistic would be to calculate lowest 100hPa mixed-layer parcel T and Td and start from those values (reflecting MLCAPE profile). That is how it is done in most professional met visualization software.
                            Of course users should still be able to move parcel curve around, but this is just suggestion for initial position of the parcel curve (it should also be shown by default as soon as sounding display is open, not only as you go over the profile with the mouse pointer).
                            Thank you!

                            Best regards,
                            Vinko
