Yes. It would be a great feature if one could plot various isolines in combination with all the different layers - like pressure acts now.
I hope it will be done in a next release

@agbruno @Wheats @Ondřej-Šutera There is no need to wait mates, this is currently possible, you only have to get to the rain layers and click on the geopotential isolines in the menu showed above in the second post.

Here are the results:

@Wheats Your first post here is right!

Yes, but with Rain or Radar layers, the isolines of Geopotential heights are shown at surface ! What information does it provide? Nothing.
Users typically want geopotential isolines at 500 hPa or at other level, but not at surface or near the surface.
In Windy these geopotential heights are displayed in meters, not in decameters (dam). So 540 means 54 dam, not 540 dam.

Geopotential isolines at 500 hPa are very useful for medium-long term forecasts.

I will continue to ask for this feature to be released: to plot geopotential isolines at 500 hPa in combination with all the different layers - like pressure acts now.

@agbruno
In fact what is needed is the ability to use the altitude slider with all layers in order to set Geopot. heights a 500hPa. But if using the Pressure layer + GP heights, users should understand that Pressure is amsl and the GP heights at the level set by the Altitude slider.

GP heights

it would be enough to add a specific 500 hPa click button

[idefix37]

@agbruno
And if someone wants to have the geopotential heights at 250/300 hPa level along the jet stream, the slider is useful.

As already requested, I would be so glad to get the geopotential heights as a color shaded layer, not only as isolines. It is the best way to analyse the 500hPa-surface heights. It would enable to set isobars (amsl) or temperature isolines (at 500 hPa).

@idefix37
The ability to use the altitude slider with all layers in order to set Geopot. heights would be the best. I hope to see this ability or at least the click button soon

[ginoar]

you change a lot. Dont like new features. THE velocit and direction arrows is not the same. Is annoying. I pay premiun suscription

[idefix37]

@ginoar
This has not been changed.

I would like to add that I think Windy is the best weather app out there. In Italy we say: grazie di esistere. I also want to thank @idefix37 for considering and understanding my request.

@agbruno I understand you are talking about the standard Sounding tool.

I've been begging for this feature for years. It's currently impossible to overlay 500mb heights on the satellite map. My suggestions is to allow the current altitude-slider to plot selected isolines for either the Geopotential height or pressure options as an overlay on any selected weather basemap (wind/temp/satellite/RH).

Also, Windy needs to add an option in settings to thicken the isolines to allow for better viewing.

@agbruno Save some of your admiration untill what you want to be implemented is done.

Can anyone from the Windy team tell us if the feature will be released? At least the 500 hPa click button, if the altitude slider with alla layers requires more effort in terms of software development
