      It looks great, would we be able to overlay real time lightning strike data over the new satellite layer in the future?

                    LOVE IT!!! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!! It's been amazing to track the Australian bushfires and their associated self generating weather patterns. As tragic as these events are for us here down under, it has been very useful. It is my go to weather site and is so much more accurate than our Government's Bureau of Meteorology. They treat the public like children. You should all be highly commended for your work. Thanks everyone :)

                      @TZ Sounds like a good idea.
                      However, now I've noticed the temporal resolution was decreased as well (it's something like 15 min, instead of 5 min?).
                      Is it possible to increase it back to what it used to be?

                      Thanks,
                      Koko

                            I like it. I like it.
                            I would somehow like to see cloud tops.
                            I also would like to see rain over imposed.
                            Wow. I like it.
                            Thank You...

                                  These days the Alps are totally visible with no clouds in the sky.
                                  BTW it should be nice to have the snow in white instead of yellowish as low clouds.

                                    @idefix37 We are not able to distinguish between snow and low clouds. There are some products allowing pixel classification of satellite images, but they are not reliable at all. So we decided to show the images as they are.

                                      Hi, I’ve asked the question just because I remember to have seen a satellite picture with low clouds in yellowish color, and snow in white.

                                        @idefix37 Hi, this would be great. If you can direct me to such solution we can integrate it. Unfortunately we were not able to solve this yet.
