      I am impressed that you actually installed your own dish. I am very interested in smoke plumes but your current visible image does not display it like the web site that I currently use.July-15,-2019-Satellite.png

      Any chance of adding this type of visible display?

        Love it! I'm a weather nerd and honestly, you guys have the best app out there.

        What do the brownish tones stand for? Dry air? There is a lot of smoke coming from the Canadien Wild Fires.

          Huge thanks to the Windy Team for such a totally awesome site. Do not stop what you are doing. Youre doing it right. Cant wait to see the satellite layer. Been using this site for over 2 years now. Wouldn't use anything else.

            The nephogram is good, but I need more borders, such as province, counties...

              Have you tried to zoom-in?

                  @bdiddydog1 Hi! I hope we both are talking about satellite layer :-) The yellow colour is for low clouds/fog while white/blue colours are for high clouds. It is handy to distinguish between these two layers. You can often see how these layers move separately at different speed and in different direction. Also you can observe evolution of the storms (from cumulus to cumulonimbus)

                    I understood this difference in color based on clouds altitude, but could we know at which altitude the color changes?

                      Great tool. Used this to warn wildland firefighters of incoming cold front with thunderstorms yesterday in northern Ontario, CA. Our location is outside of radar so also used it to advise division supervisors when it was going to be clear enough for them to get out with the helicopters and check on the fire crews.
                      Thank you

                        @idefix37 Unfortunately not, the color is based on temperature. So from this imagery it is not possible to determine clouds altitude. Also it is not possible to distinguish between snow and low clouds. It could be possible with some cloud mask products. To sum it up: this is challenge for future ;-)

                                In INFRA+, cloud top temperature given in Kelvin scale (K).
                                240K - 273.15 = -33.15°C
                                200K - 273.15 = -73.15°C

                                          It will be exrtemely helpfull if there will acces for the different satelite channels (just HRV or IR) and RGB composition of channels like NHC RGB Dust Or Fog-and-Low-Clouds (FLC) Products!
