Weird values for MSLP isobar labels are being displayed
-
Very weird values for the mean sea level pressure isobar labels are being displayed in Windy at the moment - refer to the screenshot below.
I've made sure that I've set the pressure units to hPa and that the height for all the height-adjustable variables are set to the surface, but no luck.
I've also tried logging out and logging back in, clearing my browser's cache, done a hard refresh, checked the other models, etc.
At first, I almost thought it was displaying 500hpa geopotential heights but the values are way too low/high for that.
This problem only seems to happen when I'm logged into the desktop version of Windy - it doesn't seem to happen when I'm logged out or using the mobile app.

@Ken
These figures come from the setting of Isolines in the menu. You have selected Geopotential heights which give these values at sea level. -

Not sure why it defaulted to geopotential height though, because I hadn't manually changed that setting before and wasn't even aware it existed in Windy (is it a new feature?).
I noticed someone mentioned the same issue on this forum earlier as well.
Which pressure surface are those geopotential heights for? They seem to be far too high and low for 500hpa i.e. they range anywhere from about 100 to 700dm depending on the area.

This seems to happen from time to time. I don’t know why.
I’m not sure that Geopotential heights at surface pressure mean something. But in Windy you can set them at all the different levels of the Altitude scale so you can get them at this level. -
@idefix37 thanks for that,
