Precipitation legend
-
I'm an avid user of your services and would like to suggest a change to how you display the intensity of weather variables on the map. The gradient scale is not as effective as using a legend with specified bins (e.g., 5-10mm, 10-20mm, etc). Oftentimes, I'm looking for a particular threshold to be reached and which geographical locations are likely to be affected. This is the same for wind and other variables. Please consider adding this display option on future updates.
Many thanks!

Agree. The difference between 10 and 50 mm is not clear with only differences in shades of teal and green.
Also, should it be labelled as "precipitation" instead of "rain accumulation"?

@Lisa-Erven
I guess you would like a non-continuous color scale, non-smoothed (said discrete in mathematics)
You can do it yourself as it is possible in Windy to customize a color scale.

@Ryan-Buhler
To change color shading in legend, as said in my previous post it is possible to customize the color scale as you like.

According to the Met Office “ When we talk about precipitation, we are talking about water that is falling out of the sky, this could be rain, drizzle, snow, sleet, hail …”In the “Rain accumulation” layer it is the total quantity of RAIN that is predicted to fall during a timeframe. I don’t think that precipitation is meaning that. The word “Pluviometry” could be used, but it is not so much used and understood in English.
