      As you can see from the image; the lower right is displaying correctly. The upper left is missing interleaving lines.

        I think I have the same problem (but I can't see your picture to verify that).
        It's a "hashed lines" colour display, rather than full colour. Doesn't happen that often.

        Windows 10, latest Chrome (Version 75.0.3770.142 (Official Build) (64-bit)). Turning off all Chrome extensions has no effect. Web site refresh does not correct the problem. Internet connection is good. Couldn't find anything in Windy's FAQ about this. It went away before I could try Windy's error console.

        Here's two images, the second is zoomed in:

          In addition to my last post, here's another "hashed lines" with the Error Report showing "no errors":

            Yes, that's the issue I'm referring to :)

            Sorry my picture's not visible - I tried to use Dropbox as hosting but you need to log in to see it.

              @slygal @stonelaughter The hashed lines means that the data are old and we are waiting for the update.

                @TomSlavkovsky Thanks for the explanation. Is there a legend somewhere that explains all the symbols used? For example, "black spots show previous lightning strikes"; I can guess that, but I don't know if there's any representation of the frequency or the duration of the strikes. Or if the ring emanating from a strike has a numeric meaning.

                  Lightning symbols represent lightning strikes. There is no frequency or duration representation. Rings show the thunder sound propagation.

                    @idefix37 Thank you, though I was looking for some kind of legend or reference on this site that would contain that sort of info (not just this info in particular).

                      Here are some information:
                      https://community.windy.com/topic/3361/description-of-weather-overlays
                      https://community.windy.com/category/5/frequently-asked-questions
                      But there is no « user guide » on Windy.
