        @ivo and the team,

        Amazing effort and a great addition to the Windy platform.

        As this is still in beta (and appears very stable so far), could I add a pitch for a further addition to the satellite layer/windy platform?

        Another website that I subscribe to offers model output which can be overlaid on top of satellite images. I find this feature very useful when verifying the model output (location of wind changes/fronts/cloudband etc) -- simple and easy.
        See images below as an example...

        wxzone mslp.JPG

        wxzone 10m wind.JPG

        Could you consider incorporating layer overlay functionality within the Windy platform....ie, base satellite image with an overlay option of the available model data (may need an opacity slider bar)?

        This feature may also assist the hobby meteorologists within you community in identifying major weather systems like frontal features, upper level weather systems etc.

        Otherwise, great work guy/girls.......top of the charts!

              Amazing!!

              I agree it would be great to play the movie slower. The arrow keys move the slider, but does not change playback speed.

                        The Visible Satellite layer seems to show 2 coloring of clouds. Some are blueish and seem to be the upper clouds.
                        The other are yellowish and seems the lowest ones.
                        Do you confirm? And which is the level limit between these colors?

                            What does the legend mean? K 240 - 200? From what I know, this is probably the temperature of clouds and the legend should be completely different.

                                    Nice! I like that you have a 12 hour cycle. However, on another note, please make reading your LAT/LONG numbers [ie., 25N or 140E] easier to read. Perhaps bold font white and look lines.

                                    Thanks, good work!
