      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:

      0_1523007050051_IDY20301.T-2m.030.png

      Here is the result on Windy:

      0_1523007036530_Screen Shot 2018-04-06 at 11.30.05.png

      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.

          Do they have a alternate wind gradient too?

            @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:

              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.

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

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

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