you should use different layers to get information about snow (New snow and Snow depth).
In theory, maybe. In practice, the snow depth overlay is very coarse-grained and very approximate: The area pictured above for example is snow free according to the snow depth overlay, but it's not.
@Ondřej-Šutera When I click Forecast for this location, the place name appears in the search input as expected, so Windy does know about those place names.
Place name shows as expected:
...but when I click to favorite this location, it is saved as "Lewis" (the county name, note the yellow label):
@Ondřej-Šutera This happens pretty much with any location I click... Here's another example: https://www.windy.com/48.126/-120.807?clouds,2023091003,48.123,-120.807,15
The location input shows "Freezer Pass", but the favorite is saved as "Chelan" (the largest town in the county?).
This has been bugging me for a few weeks now, used to not be an issue:
The label for the favorite is not the name of the geographical feature you clicked on, as expected, but the nearest town, or, in some cases, the county!
You can of course rename the favorite in the Favorites sidebar, if you can find it...

Would be great to have a layer with slightly higher-resolution satellite imagery that is updated at least once a week. Useful for assessing snow on the ground, extent of forest fire damage etc.
Sentinel-2 data is available through an API, plus they have a basic interface for viewing imagery at https://www.sentinel-hub.com/explore/.
When I want to get an idea of how much it rained in a specific area over the last few days, I can enable the Reported temp. layer, and then click on weather stations until I find one that happens to include rain... Would be so much less tedious if Windy had an option to only show stations with specific kinds of data (like "rain")!
@Korina said in Can you offer Standard (Imperial) Speed & Distance measurements as an option?:
Hello, we are just about to release a new version of Windy Maps with option to switch to imperial units. New version should be out soon.
Looks like the current version of Windy Maps has settings for picking units, and they are honored e.g. when calculating distances and in elevation profiles. However the contour lines and points on the map are still labelled with metric units, as is the scale shown at the top right.
I've noticed the same issue (checked both on Firefox and Chrome).
The slider tooltip shows the correct time for the first 7 days (which consist of 8x3h segments), but starts going off track at day 8 (which has fewer segments).
Note how the slider in the screenshot is above the "21" segment on "Sunday 2", but the tooltip shows "12:00".
@Korina said in Snow depth doesn't honor the chosen units:
you need to choose mm for Snow in Settings, after that snow units will be shown in cm instead of inches.
Thanks, that works. The confusion is that clicking "mm" or "in" in the row header toggles the units for precipitation, but not for snow accumulation.
Regardless of whether I choose mm or inches for the Rain row in the forecast panel, snow accumulation is always shown in inches.
