        @Gkikas-LGPZ 1 hello:) will wrf model will be add to the site in the near future
        2)in the meteorology there is also mostly sunny icon in addition to other meteorological icons but there is no mostly sunny icon in "windy" site do you plan to add this icon
        3)what is the percentage of clouds in mostly cloudy icon and also what is the amount of interval of precipitation in light rain and heavy rain
        4)do you plan to add new features to meteograms for example the percantage of clouds because ı can not see percentage of clouds in meteograms

          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,
              Mark

                  @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?
