My mistake. There is a second setting for mm/in for radar. It is working correctly.

I set my rain preference to "in", but when I spot check with the cursor, I get mm/h.

I want to be able to look at the synoptic weather/wing on my iPad, but every time I pan a bit, or touch the screen, I get new automatic popups. Yes, I can set it to go away after 3s, but still very distracting.

The display needs to calm down.

@idefix37 Thank you! Yes, that selection is buried very deep. As an aviator, I suggest to any developer reading this, that when winds at altitude are selected, the "pressure" toggle should just change to Geop. Height, and then of course back to "pressure" when viewing weather at the surface.

Unless I'm confused, the isobars at a sea level, even when the winds are displayed at altitude. That is a big disconnect since the winds are manifestation of the pressures.

Am I reading this wrong? Maybe the isobars should be suppressed when displaying winds at altitude since they are very misleading.

Perfection would need to include weather fronts...

This is maybe a settings problem. When I select to see airports, I'm only getting heliports. I don't want to see the heliports at all. Is there a way to see airports and not heliports?

Just verified this again. Windy reporting VFR at KPAO, but IFR at KSQL. Both are IFR.

VFR in Class Delta requires 3sm visibility. This report was 2.5sm and showing VFR. Compare to AeroWeather which correctly reported IFR. Same underlying data from the airport.

Windy is not reporting VFR/IFR conditions correctly with METARs. 2.5sm visibility is not VFR in Class Delta. See screen shots from Windy and AeroWeather.

Exactly. So could you adjust the scale to the model? This would allow greater accuracy when scrolling through the NAM model. Fantastic app!
