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

          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

                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.

                  love it, didn't think you could improve on the best but you have, you just made it better,all you have to do now is help me to figure out why I can't search locations via postcodes in the search bar. uk is not that big.

                    hey @ivo , one suggestion, could you enable lightning switch on the sat layer, so that we can overlay sat with lightning?

                      Totally agree! I suggest lightnings to be colored yellow or red.
                      Because white lightnings in white background (clouds) are not easily readable.

                          I really like this satellite layer as a welcome new feature, thank-you Windy Team. I keep Windy open 24-7 with 2 other weather apps (Wundergound & Environment Canada), and I trust what I see on Windy and those way more than the forecasts on radio or TV. Keep up the great work as you help make dealing with the weather so much more predictable!!!

                                LOOKS GREAT. ANY WAY TOO ADD OVERLAYS LIKE SATELLITE AND RADAR TOGETHER.

                                  The capabilities of this application have become nothing short of extraordinary. And it keeps getting better and better. Congratulations on the creation of a truly amazing project.
