    • RE: Description of weather overlays

      Here’s a concise, human-readable summary of the features:

      Radar, Lightning: Displays weather radar and real-time lightning strikes, using different data sources but sharing a timeline for animated playback.

      Wind: Shows average wind speed 10 meters above ground, with gusts computed for the last 3 hours and a 10-day accumulation map for maximum wind intensity.

      Rain, Thunder: Displays rain/snow accumulation for the last 3 hours with a lightning density forecast.

      Rain/Snow Accumulation: Forecasts total rain or snow accumulation over the next hours or days.

      Snow Depth: Predicts snow depth, influenced by various factors like terrain and urban areas.

      Precipitation Type: Indicates types of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.).

      Thunderstorms: Counts lightning flashes per square kilometer per day.

      Temperature: Shows temperature 2 meters above ground.

      Dew Point: Temperature at which air moisture forms dew.

      Humidity: Relative humidity 2 meters above ground.

      Freezing Altitude: Altitude where temperature hits 0°C.

      Wet Bulb Temperature: Lowest temperature via evaporative cooling, critical at 35°C.

      Solar Power: Amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

      UV Index: Measures the sunburn-producing UV radiation strength.

      Clouds: Shows cloud cover at different altitudes and their rain/snow accumulation.

      Fog: Displays fog conditions, influenced by local factors.

      Visibility: Measures how far objects or light can be clearly seen.

      CAPE Index: Indicates potential energy for storm formation.

      Thermals: Shows thermal activity and cumulus cloud occurrence.

      Waves: Significant wave height and period, combining swell and wind waves.

      Sea Temperature: Estimates sea surface temperature.

      Currents: Displays surface sea currents.

      Tidal Currents: Tidal movements influenced by Earth, sun, and moon.

      CO Concentration: Carbon monoxide levels in the air.

      Dust Mass: Concentration of dust particles in the air.

      SO2 Mass: Sulfur dioxide concentration, often from volcanic activity or fossil fuels.

      Ozone Layer: Total column of ozone, affecting UV radiation.

      Soil Moisture: Amount of water available to plants in the soil.

      Moisture Anomaly: Deviation of soil moisture from average levels.

      Drought Intensity: Compares current soil water with historical levels for drought assessment.

      Pressure: Atmospheric pressure at sea level.

      Weather Warnings: Alerts from national weather agencies.
