Windy launches Satellite layer
-
@pilthm816
IMO the sat layer is almost perfect.
(I say "almost" because I wanted the ability
to read cloud top temperature in Celsius with the picker).
What's the reason you don't like sat. layer? -
Brilliant work. Our current drought is horrendous, but looking at this with all the work you have put in helps to make it better. Cheers from SW Queensland, Aus

I just love the idea. We enthusiastic of meteorology and normal citizens of the world needs desperately all the info we can get about climate, and other naturals phenomena that could treat our territories, nations, cities and places everywhere on the planet. This is a jewel for the climate data systems and we appreciate so much that we are going to keep our support to these types of initiatives. Thanks a LOT!

Satelite Layer, just brilliant!
IMO all it lacks is orthographic projection like this....

When I first went online in the 90's and found the grainy, low res satellite images I was enchanted and hooked! I didn't have the imagination to see where you guys would take it.
My heartfelt thanks to all involved.

@domartigallivan
The site you mentioned (https://earth.nullschool.net) provides SATELLITE layer
in orthographic projection ? -
Hi - I like the satellite imagery of the clouds very much!! The shadow effect relative to the sun's position in the sky really helps visualize how fast clouds are building, what direction they're moving in, what the coverage is. I like the feature, and hope you keep and develop it.

Love it...sometimes seeing a Sat-view puts all the data in a clearer perspective.

Today the satellite layer shows clearly wildfires in Northern Territory, Australia.
At same time, the CO layer shows high concentration, and to some extend it is also the case of NO2, SO2 and PM2.5 which are produced by combustion.
In addition

Very nice and useful. Thanks
-
@cmdrgr I like it. My eyes are my best instruments.
-
@Gkikas-LGPZ I agree, it would be great if the picker showed brightness temperatures. This together with the model soundings would make it easy to identify cloud top heights. @ivo

Nice and helpful ! congrats!
-
This is so great! Thank you all so much. Will donate today!
Some sites have ground radar imagery with satellite imagery:
Is this something that can be eventually added?

@cloud-maven1 Hi, thank you very much for your feedback!
Yes, this is something we are thinking about. -
This is what I have been looking for! Your competitors used to have the "infra+" and removed it and a lot of other handy views. Now, if you cold do a desktop temperature window I could trash them altogether!
-
I'm loving the new Satellite/Rain Radar features!
-
Hi guys, your works is very good and help full,
AND
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINDY.COM and that team,
because WINDY.COM is founded on November 2014 -
Congrats... state of the art!
-
@ivo Well Done!!
-
For a split second I thoughts those airborne red caps might have been helium balloons with miniature drones onboard.
Amazing use of satellite technology ...congratulations on the new layer.
Just watching smoke from the current NSW , AU, coastal bushfires..terrible loss of bushland...over 150,000ha burnt so far.
