Airports color dots
-
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 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.
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 !(Here’s a link to a very similar post of mine with pictures : https://community.windy.com/post/212648)

Hi @LucasGuinet, thanks for the suggestion. I’ve forwarded it to my colleagues, and we’ll see what can be done. Thanks for using Windy, and for helping us improve it. Warm regards, Jari
