      Hi all,

      thanks to Windy for providing this nice service! I have a request for the colored airport dots (VFR).

      I have seen that airports with good visibility and cloud base but present weather SHRA or TSRA and TCU/CB appear green.

      Although EASA SERA 5001 and 5005 do not prohibit VFR rules in the presence of convective weather as long as the VMC are maintained, I would expect that it should be highlighted to increase awareness and safety.

      I have not seen yellow color yet - maybe the presence of TCU, CB, SH (+other suffix), TS (+other suffix) in the last METAR or similar report can be added to highlight this weather?

      Thanks and best regards!
