Meaning of symbols...
-
@livtiger maybe Ice Pellets?
https://community.windy.com/post/3789 this explains some of the layers and what they provide.I agree - there should be a legend of sorts on Windy's symbology.
-
A workaround is to switch to the Precipitation type layer. This layer gives the main type of precipitation.
Could we know where did you find these round symbols ? -

@idefix37 Sorry for the delay. Attached is another screen cap from the website with more specifications on the settings. The overview is "Rain, Thunder".
-
@Wheats This might be the case. We are starting to see Ice Pellets in our forecast.

@livtiger
I don’t know why these rounded symbols are not displayed on my screen (w/Safari browser) where the weather picker shows Ice pellets . But they are shown in the mobile app (iPad).
While the Precipitation type layer shows Ice pellets. But the color legend does not mention them. Probably because space is missing ?
Only the Color scale setting includes this color with a legend.

@idefix37 Hmm. I am also on Safari (Mac) with pretty much default settings. I am not sure why they would not show up for you as well. At least I know now that they are snow pellets thanks to your screen captures. Windy is great, but so complex. I feel like I am just scratching the surface. Thank you for all the help!

@livtiger I'm sure you meant to write ice pellets but I wanted to make sure you knew ice pellets and snow pellets are different.
- Ice pellets are essentially frozen raindrops that hit the surface. (balls of ice, not hail)
- Snow pellets are like tiny very lightly-packed snowballs that hit the surface (fairly brittle and break apart)
😁

@Wheats Right. I meant ice pellets.

Does anyone know what the % are beside the forecast day name. Like Tuesday then a gold 69% then Wednesday has a blue 80% beside it?
