Totally agree! I suggest lightnings to be colored yellow or red.
Because white lightnings in white background (clouds) are not easily readable.

@ivo
I think, cloud top temperature scale must be visible only in conjunction with INFRA+.
It has no use with VIS nor INFRA.

@CS21
... BTW, is there any free source for AMDAR (or ACARS) data?

@CS21
You are comparing forecast data (Windy) with observed data
(I supose Flightradar24 shows measurments from aircraft's AMDAR system (Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay).
This is one reason explaining the difference.
In my opinion there is no signifficant diference in wind speed (60-70 vs 50-60).

Differences in wind direction may be due to jet stream afecting the area.

Furthermore, errors can occur when the aircraft is maneuvering (roll angles > 5).
After all, we don't know if the instrument is well-maintained.

As many people are not familiar with Kelvin scale,
I'd like to have the ability to change units in INFRA+ (from K to C)
(the same way as in temperature or wind layer).

Firstly, I must let you know that I'm not Windy's personnel.
So, I can't answer all of your questions.
I don't know Windy's plans for the future.

About sky condition, NOAA uses the following definitions :

Turkish State Meteo. Service uses the following symbols:
(cloud coverage in octas as I interpret them)

My question to you:
What is the usefulness if Windy adds a "mostly sunny" icon?
"Partly cloudy" is not enough?
Do you think that the average reader
can see any difference between the following icons?

@seba397
In INFRA+, cloud top temperature given in Kelvin scale (K).
240K - 273.15 = -33.15°C
200K - 273.15 = -73.15°C

@MDason
Try skewT plugin

@Ivanovskiy
Have you tried to zoom-in?

I would like to raise the matter of showing model's altitude into meteograms
as I proposed here

@ivo
No answer !!! :)

I supose partly cloudy is up to 50% (1~4/8).
For more details you can use the picker.

Click on the location.

TIP: Wind direction can be displayed in degrees or as a string (use "menu", "settings")
