      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 ?

        But it's only on the website - strangely I can't find it using the app.

        @livtiger @milieu I notice on both the app and the website - it tells you what the symbols mean if you have the "flag" on the website, or the crosshairs banner thing on the app enabled.

          @idefix37 Sorry for the delay. Attached is another screen cap from the website with more specifications on the settings. The overview is "Rain, Thunder".Screenshot 2024-01-13 at 7.31.30 AM.png

            @Wheats This might be the case. We are starting to see Ice Pellets in our forecast.

              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?
