How to map forecast to weather icons
I'm searching for a proper way to map the 'raw' values from the Forecast API to a visual icon, just like: https://www.windy.com/img/icons6/png_25@2x/19.png
I assume this mapping requires multiple inputs: precipitation, lclouds, mclouds, hglouds, and perhaps also others. But I do not know enough about weather to implement this myself properly.
Can someone provide me a hint of where to look? Perhaps there is existing code that does this, or maybe there are other useful resources.
Thank you in advance.

RE: Hourly forecasts
@idefix37 Thank you for you reply. That is good to know. Is there a way to also get this hourly GFS forecast through the Windy Forecast API?

RE: Hourly forecasts
@korina How does Windy itself manage to show the 1-hour forecast in the table on Windy.com? When Googling a bit, I see for example that GFS does not provide a more fine-grained forecast than 3-hourly: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/model-data/model-datasets/global-forcast-system-gfs

RE: Get wind data of multiple locations
@korina Hi Korina. Thank you for your reply. I've already started testing around, and couldn't find a way in which to achieve this. In the docs I also couldn't find this.
I was wondering if it's possible with only using the Map API, because the Picker allows similar functionality, but not exactly what I'm looking for: I want to get the wind data of more than 1 point in the plotted map.

RE: Get wind data of multiple locations
@dmast To be clear: I would like to do this using the Map Forecast API. So from Javascript. The locations I'm interested in are all within the bounds of the map shown.

Get wind data of multiple locations
Re: Get wind data of a location
I would like to retrieve wind data of a couple of locations.
I am aware of the picker functionality. However, I do not want to show the user a picker. With a picker I can only retrieve the wind data in the callback method after the 'pickerOpened' event is triggered.
I want to get the wind data of a couple of different locations and use them programmatically. Is this possible without the event-based picker?
Thank you in advance.
