      First of all, amazing app, thank you for all the work you guys have done with Windy !

      I have an issue with the feature : display on map "airports".
      I live and fly in Eastern Canada, and I use the airports feature to get a quick overview of flight conditions by just seeing the color interpretation of airport METARs around me (purple "LIFR", red "IFR", blue "MVFR", green "VFR").

      However it seems there are a lot of airfields in my area where a non reliable METAR exists ('non reliable' as in no ceiling or visibility info exist) and they are all being interpreted as LIFR conditions. This often creates confusion when trying to interpret weather conditions in the area. My fix is to zoom out so these unreliable METARs disappear and only the big airport METAR color dot stay on map.
      I've attached a couple of screenshots showing this.

      What I recommend is to use the grey color coding for all non reliable airfield METARs where there is no information about ceiling or visibility in their METAR.
      Thank you again for the App 🤘
