      Question. I guess this is data from geostationary satellites?
      Are you doing heavy recalculations for higher latitudes to correct for the low angel at high latitudes?
      Or is the data raw from the satellite with the angel distortion?

          Absolutely awesome! The satellite layer could not have come at a better time for me. I live in Florida and have been in the projected path of hurricane Dorian. The hurricane looks stunning on the new layer -- especially on the 12-hour loop. I cannot believe that I can hold the power of the Windy app in the palm of my hand (Android). Thank you!

                As a former pilot for the US Army, I appreciate the satellite view in a format easily understood by us with an aviation background.

                • Has there been any consideration of adding 'Fronts' to the display ?

                  Windy visualizes only weather models data and these models are not able to draw fronts. They are drawn usually by meteorologists so there is no solution at the moment to display fronts on Windy.

                              The coverage of Dorian is fantastic. I found the buttons to push on the satellite view (radar and satellite to satellite to infr+ ) to get the video of the hurricane show on the Weather Channel. Keep up the great work.

                                        @ivo Thanks for your animated satellite layers; fantastic and at the same time frighteningly vivid. At times the layers remind me of our muscle layers working in exactly the same way with tension balance. Thanks so much, Regards Pete (in Brasil)
