      Nice feature : cloud base low and high for VFR flights. But the data shown are totally wrong. ECMWF was just updated and I checked a given route (EDHF to EDWI). Both airfields had low cloud bases (800ft) but for Windy it was 1600ft and even 3400ft for EDWI. Who trusts those datas are going to perish!!!!

        You probably compare observation with forecast

          @idefix37 The route was set at present time. No forecast. The issue here is, you thing you get accurate information which proof unreliable.

            The Route planner based on ECMWF forecast is NOT based on direct observation at airfield locations. Even if it is in real time, it is the weather model which calculated the data used, including the cloud ceiling.
