Add contouring to the products
-
While the current implementation of shading different values with different colors is "pretty", using it for forecasting can be ambiguous...
Adding an option to view data with contours (like you already can with surface pressure/geopotential height/etc.), Would be very beneficial to me.
I still regularly find myself using COD weather or Pivotal Weather because I can get more clear data visualization via contours on these sites.
-
Contours would be a solution as you explain.
Another solution is to use a non-smoothed color scale. You can modify the color scale yourself.
In Settings, see Customize color scale to get for example this map of wind:

Thank you! That's a great idea. But is this available on mobile? I usually interact with windy mostly via the mobile android application.

@evan-rys
Color scale cannot be customised directly on android phone.
But you can do it on PC and then your settings are automatically applied to your phone if you use the same account credentials.
If you want to use this wind color scale, just let me know. I shall give you the code. -
@idefix37 I would love the codes if you could send them.
I would need to go through every product and do something like this, which would be tedious. But I would appreciate the code!
But I would still like an option to include a contour overlay of any product you'd like. Similar to how you can do that on AWIPS
