Multiple layers

toddmpeterson

I was just looking for a thread like this. I would love to overlay more than 2 layers, not including the 4 isoline choices. I know it's not as simple as just saying" OK, let's do it" but, it would be nice to layer 3 or 4 maps at once.

Hi, adding isolines or graphical symbols like wind barbs is possible. But if you mean displaying 3 or 4 color shaded overlays, this is impossible. Even a mix of 2 layer gives disappointing results.
The solution shown by @Wheats would be the best.

@idefix37 Yeah. Probably right. I never really thought about the colors contrasting with each other.

@Korina The main overlay a lot of users would like to have is Satellite & Radar please.

Another layer which would benefit users is Satellite & Rain overlay so that forecasters can confirm if Models are aligning with weather events.

Thanks @Korina :)

@anthony10 Good thought, I like this idea. This would be very useful.

I would like to see Radar and Satellite on the same overlay as well as a graphical overlay with temperature. The windstreams would be a nice touch too but not necessary

Similar to Wundermap, however I don't like their satellite image as it includes some sort of radar that doesn't match up with their radar layer.

This is already available in Windy !
You just have to click on Reported temperature or Reported wind to show them with Satellite or Radar layers.
Here in Celsius and knots:

@idefix37 Thank you!

@Wheats

I submitted a proposal along the same lines last year.

Fingers are crossed if a working concept comes to fruition in the near future.

@Bill-Salopek I like the way Ventusky does some overlays. It could be something simple for Windy to add?

Satellite + particle animation

@anthony10 Very nice and helpful answer.

I have seen that some other portals have overlay of Satellite & Radar.
This is really good as you can get more precise and accurate image.

Here I can not find the way to do it so it seems that all above conversation about it didn't encourage change.

Radar + Satellite is available on Windy browser version.
Not yet in the mobile app.

I would also like to see multiple non-conflicting layers. For example Tidal Currents and Radar+. Wind gusts and Currents, etc. Even Satellite and Radar, as other site do.
