        What do you want to demonstrate with the radar map and the rain forecast from Meteogram ?

        Even when looking at tropicals it only shows up to 9KT

        There are locations in tropical areas where you can get less than 9kt of wind, of course !
        But your screenshot showing detailed forecasts of wind speed (mean speed or gusts) expressed in Beaufort (Bft) is far from 9kt !
        9 Beaufort is 45kt !

          Wow, disregard. User error/bug? I did not catch the winds were not in KT. But I have never user Bf so I don't know why it changed that setting when I had just logged in. Thank you!

            When you click on the units they change.

              @idefix37 Yes, I was aware of that feature, I have used it with the temperature before. I was saying, I did not change that setting to begin with when I logged in or ever before so I was expecting winds to be set at KT not the Bft scale so I didn't even consider that it was in a different scale.
