      I am using a Windows laptop. When clicking on airports (I'm a pilot) all I see now is heliports. What am I doing wrong?

        Could well be that they're on the same layer. Perhaps zoom out a little and only the main airports remain.

          Dear Windy crew. May you consider implementing new colors for the wave prediction model? Today only large variations can be seen due to the very similar colors of the model. I am a surfer and often leave the app to consult other sites, due to the difficulty of filling. My suggestion is to implement the same traditionally colors used for WW models. Or, provide customizable palettes. O don't know If here is the right place to post It... please let me know.

            You have already customisable colour palettes on Windy !
            Just go to:
            Settings ==> Modify layers colors ==> Select overlay ==>Waves
            https://community.windy.com/topic/6455/colors/2
            This example is given for Wind, but the way for Wave is the same. You can change colours and range (only on website windy.com, not in the mobile app. You must login with the same account and your modification will be applied to your mobile app too)

                  does windy work via satellite?

                    Windy visualizes models of European and American weather prediction centers. Windy does not make its own forecasts. These numerical weather prediction centers use satellite data during the initialization phase or assimilation.
                    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_weather_prediction
                    Then how does Windy get the data from these centers? probably via the internet.

                      Planning longer crossings at sea is a breeze with you great app. I can become familiar with weather conditions in future sailing areas by checking daily how the wind develops.

                      A question: I can’t see cold or warm fronts. In the app... it would be a great feature. Or have I just missed it?

                      Thanks for a great app!

                            @jssjr Your start-up is amazing. We plan to set sail for a couple years and I believe our safety will include tapping into your database.

                            Thank you for your hard work. Let me know how we can assist.

                            Julie :)

                              hei ho.
                              greetings out of bavaria.
                              Great weather page! I use it all the time and we also could say that even thunderbolt-flashes are reported very precise. Very awesome!
                              Two things for you:
                              Perhaps you don't know it but its a weather warning in germany about wildfires that may occur because of the sunny weather. Its reported here as WBI (Waldbrand-Index) and goes till Thursday. And: a wish: could you list also UV-Indices? I can't find them and it would be great to have them too... greetings :D

                                        Hello,
                                        I am a firefighter in France, and we would like to use your application "windy" to help us evolve the fire risk (forest fires in Corsica).
                                        Would it be possible to contact us via Mail or phone?
