      What do you mean by "mostly sunny"?
      You are not covered by partly cloudy symbol?

            Firstly, I must let you know that I'm not Windy's personnel.
            So, I can't answer all of your questions.
            I don't know Windy's plans for the future.

            About sky condition, NOAA uses the following definitions :
            https://www.weather.gov/media/pah/ServiceGuide/A-forecast.pdf

            Turkish State Meteo. Service uses the following symbols:
            (cloud coverage in octas as I interpret them)

            My question to you:
            What is the usefulness if Windy adds a "mostly sunny" icon?
            "Partly cloudy" is not enough?
            Do you think that the average reader
            can see any difference between the following icons?

                Is there a way to show 2 layers at the same time by a ctrl-click on the selected layers? Was interested in showing NO2 and CO2, or radar and satellite, etc. I'm sure that I just made a developer's brain pop :)

                Love this app, long time user.

                Thanks,

                    @alip As I see, Turkish meteo.(TSTM) is not using any symbol for "rain".
                    It calls all rainy situations as "light showers" or "showers".
                    8eeea4b5-1b88-4445-a748-949a68065726-εικόνα.png

                    Windy uses the same symbol for thunderstorms and rain showers.

                    7a8daace-cfdc-44fd-b893-cd90ea30f93d-εικόνα.png

                    As a thunderstorm is a "subcategory" of a rain shower (but is stronger)
                    you can distinguish it by the amount of rain.

                      @Gkikas-LGPZ Wonder why don't they put a little "Degrees' circle like is normal for a number in degrees?

                            I seem to have lost the lightening strike function, am I missing a setting or something?

                                    @altabird Hello, you will find this information in detailed forecast. Click on the map and expand the picker.

                                      @korina Good morning, I have a question in relation to the weather icons. I have highlighted the hours from 4pm to 6pm, why do we see the icons "Cloudy with rain or thunder" and in parallel we have 0 mm of precipitation?

                                      Thanks a lot!

                                        This is because the level of rain expected is below the minimum threshold.
                                        In general, below 0.3mm you can hardly notice that it is raining

                                          @yves70 Thanks! I have had the same feeling but the confirm sounds better.

                                            @yves70 I have another question about rain layer.
                                            I read that the rain and thunder layer shows the sum of the precipitation of the last three hours. If I compare the information from the map (red circle) with the sum of precipitation shown in the meteogram (red rectangle) I have no correspondence. The picker indicates 7.4 mm of rain, in contrast the meteogram shows 9.8 mm of rain (sum of precipitation of 9pm, 10pm and 11pm ). Why do we have this disagreement?

                                            Many thanks!

                                            Many thanks! 001950.jpg
