Testing Australian Bureau of Meteorology Color Gradient

[TomSlavkovsky]

Hi folks,

recently, I found out that Australian Bureau of Meteorology updated their color gradient due to extremely high temperatures. They added purple color for temperatures above 54 C! So, I decided to try BOM's temperature gradient on Windy. Here is the original BOM's gradient:

Here is the result on Windy:

For those, who are interested in changing their temperature gradient, below are the colors. Go to Menu/Settings/Modify layers colors, change layer to temperature, then click on show gradient, copy & paste gradient from below, and click import gradient. And that's it.

Nice..will try it

[Tomber42]

Do they have a alternate wind gradient too?

[TomSlavkovsky]

@Tomber42 I tested it and surprisingly it look nice. However, the wind particles are not visible. Here is the original:

And here is the gradient on Windy:

[[0,[198,241,255,255]],
[2.572,[198,241,255,255]],
[5.144,[144,218,254,255]],
[7.71667,[146,255,164,255]],
[10.2889,[89,229,114,255]],
[12.8611,[227,236,105,255]],
[15.4333,[255,118,59,255]],
[18.0056,[245,0,0,255]],
[23.15,[164,0,0,255]],
[51.4444,[164,0,0,255]]]

@tomslavkovsky
Yes it looks nice ! A little bit like my own settings below !! :-)

Concerning the temperature I’m not really interested to change the temperature gradient over 54ºC, but much more in very low temperature range for a better analysis in altitude. I’ll try it later.

Very impressive. Well done.

[TomSlavkovsky]

I'm adding a link to a handy tool, useful if you want to make small adjustments to Windy gradients.

@tomslavkovsky
Nice I’ll use it.

[Michal.Koldinsky]

A more pleasant colors for the binary layers eg: Fog, Thunderstorms

[[0,[69,111,117,256]],
[1,[116,221,237,256]],
[2,[200,200,255,255]]]

@michal-koldinsky
Can we have the ability for more colors for tstms ? (is not a binary layer).
