LOW CLOUDS/FOG
-
First of all, congratulations for your weather website.
Fog monitoring is very important (especially for aviation) as it reduces visibility considerably (< 1000m).
Would it be possible for windy to have a satellite channel (from EUMETSAT) to observe low clouds and/or fog during the night? It would be very useful to elaborate METARs at airports, etc.
Regards

@MarcosBermejo 🌫 100% humidity on surface = fog, or dewpoint=temp.

Windy offers also a visability👁- and a cloudbase🚁 layer. -
@Caefix Yes, I know, thank you. The visibility and cloud base layers, from the ECMWF model, help to predict fogs, but I think it would be very useful to have in windy a satellite channel to track low clouds at night, since forecasting fogs in a certain area is difficult.
