      @Ondřej-Šutera I meant is there a way for you to incorporate it into Windy.
      But alright I can continue to use FIRMS, no problem

        @Wheats At this moment, I don't have any info about this potential improvement but it is possible that this feature will be added in the future.

          @Ondřej-Šutera Well, you guys may be happy with the new NASA FIRMS but there are areas in the World where you can now hardly see which country is under the fires ? You really think this is better than what you had ? It's unusable, just creates orange blobs all over the World.

            @HomoTelepathicus Hi, if you zoom this in, you can see more info about the location and you still can turn this feature off if you want to check anything else.

              @Ondřej-Šutera You are missing the point. But forget my complaints. I see you have started doing more areas like Canada now. Happy to see the progress. Will exercise patience. I use the Active Fires feature constantly. Resistance to change.

                I can't find the "live" fires points on the map. Just the risk of fire.
                Is it not available anymore?
                Tks

                      @HomoTelepathicus -- you're absolutely right. LA is on fire now, but if you look at this map, you not only see LA ... pretty much all of GA and FL are supposedly on fire. Not sure how this can be used.

                      @Suty or other Admin?

                        Please check the data source of Active fires
                        https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/#d:24hrs;@-113.2,35.7,5.7z

                          @Suty said in What happened to the Windy Active Fires Setting ?:

                          Hi @HomoTelepathicus, in general, we changed the source of data to NASA FIRMS that are considered as much more reliable source right now. Also we filtered these data and display only these that have their level of confidence/certainty set to high for more reliability about showing real active fires.

                          One question, I have noticed that data got lost from the area of Ukraine, what decided on that?
