      My app used to show the actual terrain on the map, thnk Google maps satellite view., I’ve checked all the layers and nothing will show the terrain in a satellite view of terrain. When I select the satellite view layer that is an option, it’s all covered by clouds I can’t remove that. Is seeing buildings, roads, grass, water etc not a layer anymore or what am I doing wrong?

        Google Maps uses satellite views that they store when the weather is good, with no clouds in the sky. This is the reason why you get these views at all times, even during the night.
        The Satellite layer in Windy are real-time shots from the satellite. And Windy is a weather app, so most users want to see clouds.
