<![CDATA[Flight Planner Cloud Base inconsistency]]>Hello,

Information about Cloud Base value in the zone following aircraft on map looks inconsistent. In the snapshot example, should be around 3000 ft / 17 000 ft shown.

Thanks !

Hi, thanks!

There was indeed a bug. The routeplanner did not display the values calculated from the corrected ground speed.

It is fixed now, the values should correlate with the ones in the black box.

In windy the cloudbase is defined as the lowest layer where the cover is >50%. See this post by TZ: https://community.windy.com/topic/5116/cloud-tops-are-lower-that-cloud-base

The shaded clouds in the routeplanner indicates humidity. Thus the potential for cloud formation.
