      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)

              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?

                                          TO THE WINDY.COM ADMIN.
                                          MAP OF SOMALIA
                                          Could you please check map of Somalia in the Windy site, this map is not correct , you divide Somalia into two countries , we Somalis are very upset about that. We are asking to correct Map of Somalia. Somalia is a one country (Federal Republic of Somalia). Please double check and set the correct map of Somalia.
                                          Thanks

                                            Thank you for your post. Unfortunately the place names are not controlled by Windy.

                                            Please see the following posts about how the map data for Windy is sourced and displayed from www.openstreetmap.org:

                                            Please also note: For every language, a different place name label can be displayed, so please choose your correct language and data display.

                                            Further discussion of place name and language issues or disputes should be directed to the OpenStreetMap Forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/index.php > scroll down & select > users: (the relevant country for your dispute and/or question)

                                            In the case of a political dispute please leave such topics out of the Windy forum and instead focus on the discussion of weather.

                                            Thank you :)
