      The new layout gives more details now, as wind gusts graph and precipitation recordings.

      However the new rain section is not very clear specially in the browser version.
      The column graph seems to display the precipitation amounts, but there is no scale when it is an airport wheater station. .
      What is the meaning of the letters like +SHRA, RA, …. Some connection with flight rules ?
      What is the meaning of the blue colour and the purple colour?
      Shouldn’t the Rain and the Pressure lines be interchanged?
      A word is missing : Flight rules and ….?
      What is the meaning of the 3 small vertical bars

        Hi @idefix37, I'll try to answer as many of your questions as possible.

        This is what airport station detail looks like in my browser (chrome-based)

        The column graph seems to display the precipitation amounts, but there is no scale when it is an airport wheater station

        True, hovering over the time of observation shows all its values in the info window above the chart. In my screenshot, it shows 3mm

        What is the meaning of the letters like +SHRA, RA, ...

        Those are weather phenomena codes used in METARs, for example. See more info here. The info window above the chart "translates" the code to human readable form, in my example +RA is Observed weather: heavy rain.

        What is the meaning of the blue colour and the purple colour?

        I believe it is the same as in meteogram (blue rain, purple snow), but I might be wrong.

        Shouldn’t the Rain and the Pressure lines be interchanged?

        Most likely yes. I'll raise this question further.

        A word is missing : Flight rules and ….?

        Looks like some alignment/crop issue. My screenshot shows Flight rules and visibility. Are you perhaps using zoom in the browser other than 100%?

        What is the meaning of the 3 small vertical bars

        Again most likely cropped letter m (meters) that shows in my screenshot correctly.

          OK you are right

          OK

          I believe it is the same as in meteogram (blue rain, purple snow), but I might be wrong.

          Yes, because my screenshot was from a tropical area :)
          In Meteogram snow is light blue, rain is deep blue and convective rain is purple.

          Shouldn’t the Rain and the Pressure lines be interchanged?

          Most likely yes. I'll raise this question further.

          OK

          Yes this is probably because I take the screenshot from my iPad with a small screen.

          Thank you so much for explanation.
