Return precipitation to the "clouds" layer

G0nZaleZ

Previously, the cloud layer also showed precipitation on the map. In the latest update, this feature has disappeared in the web version. Now, to show clouds and precipitation, you have to constantly switch between layers, which is very uncomfortable.

I am a paraglider pilot and skier, and for my activity, it is critical to understand the location of clouds and rain.
Please return the display of precipitation on the cloud layer back.

Thanks.

@G0nZaleZ
Are you referring to Radar+?
I still have it on Chrome Version 127.0.6533.100 (Official Build) (64-bit).

@Wheats - no, they're referring the model forecast for clouds that used to also show the model forecast for precipitation overlayed.

As an operational forecaster for water enthusiasts, I HATE this change to remove the precip overlay from the cloud forecast in the models and STRONGLY second this feedback.

@Wheats No, I mean exactly the "clouds" layer.
Just tested on latest Chrome: 133.0.6943.127 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@4matt @G0nZaleZ oh yeah, no kidding. I see now.
Well I agree then lol. Why did Windy change this?
I never really utilized this layer honestly, I would just use Rain, thunder layer and imagine where the clouds would be.

@Wheats In paragliding this was my most utilized layer at all. It was very useful to see on one layer which clouds were developing into rain clouds.

@G0nZaleZ I feel like maybe it's a bug or something? The info still shows what it did before and mentions the rain/snow...
Clouds
Clouds and rain/snow accumulation in the last 3 hours. Please note, that rain from convective clouds cannot be included in this value, therefore observe CAPE index.

@Wheats Hi guys, this seems like a bug on our side, we will investigate. Thank you for reporting

As quick workaround, precipitation in clouds layer seems to work when Graphic compatibility mode is on

@Filip_K Thanks for finding the workaround...hope you folks can figure out why my modern graphics are just too accelerated for this layer now :p
