Altitude slider

Hi There,

Does the altitude slider on the right side of the windy page show altitude from MSL (Mean seal level)?
If yes, Then the data shown at a particular location is based on MSL or from its particular location's surface.

For example, Under temperature when I drag up the slider to some altitude (say, 2000m / 6400ft) will the temperature around the Himalayas be based on MSL or from its particular top surface?

The reason I have this question was, the peaks around the Himalayas are 2000m+ in height. What temperature is shown when I place the slider at ~2000m?

Thanks
Ravi

Hello,
Altitude slider is amsl.
Even in mountains, to get temperature at a location, just leave the slider at Surface. But note that global weather models are not so accurate in your area due to their medium resolution and to their coarse orography model.
See this related topic.
