      @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!

                              This is a very good feature, works fine and very accurate loving this
                              Hoping this will be coming to the iOS app soon, not just the web app

                                    I think, cloud top temperature scale must be visible only in conjunction with INFRA+.
                                    It has no use with VIS nor INFRA.

                                    Also https://community.windy.com/topic/8960/suggestion-ability-to-change-units-in-infra

                                      A few hours ago we could observe images of Ubinas volcano eruption in Peru.
                                      To find the volcano, type « volcan Ubinas » in the search bar. The plume can be seen if you select 12h, both in VISIBLE and INFRA+

                                      D919B5FD-7391-4259-AA24-2CA53CEBB3D9.jpeg

                                      It seems that there is a small gap between the plume and the volcano itself, about 7km.

                                        The projection seems very off with California's coast line. It appears you guys managed to finally sink Los Angeles #GlobalWarming

                                        Los Angeles

                                            The Satellite layer is amazing. But i think you should put the true time the sattelite image was taken. I've seen a time in a down bar but the time that is been shown there is not correct. For example in this image of Brazil the down bar says 18:05 but this image was actually taken by the sattelite at 17:40.
