@David-Ryzec-3 @Filip_K Yes. You two know your product. How long do I have to live with this bug?
I have more than one color settings for the Satellite layer INFRA+ mode.
Can you provide a easy way to switch between recently applied color settings? So far, the only way is to open up the color palette text, and copy and paste replacement color patellte text. Quite cumbersome.

@Gkikas-LGPZ Please answer my request re restoring Satellite colorscale. I can't believe someone just hijacked the thread I newly opened and you respond to her instead.

Satellite layer lost color scale. Was always at bottom of lower right corner of Windy for desktop. Please restore it.

@Filip_K
NOAA has two separate archives: IGRA under NCEI which stores ascent data at least 1 day old, and realtime RAOBS under ESRL which has up-to-date ascent data. Make sure you poke into the latter.

@Filip_K Radiosondes for Indonesian airports at Medan, Banda Aceh, Pontianak and Ranai are no longer accessible on Windy mobile. Are they permanently excluded? If so, why? The daily 0Z and 12Z data are available in real time from ESRL database I showed previously. Below is what I plotted from Bangka Island's Pangkal Pinang airport radiosonde for 0Z today:

@hangInThere For the record, another hole in the Himawari-9 image sequence at 14:50 UTC, the two holes being exactly 12 hrs apart :

@Ondřej-Šutera
I see JMA's Himawari-8 satellite images is missing the frame at 02:50 UTC, which corresponds to the missing frame on Windy at 03:00 UTC :

@Ondřej-Šutera
The announced maintenance time on Himawari satellite (23:14 UTC on 30 November) is different. Not even close. Besides, the 11AM (03:00 UTC) frame loss happens every day, whereas Himawari's announced maintenance fall on only a handful of days in November. @Filip_K

Satellite IR & Vis always misses one frame at 11AM + 8 (3Z) over Malacca Strait. See screenshots below captured at 10:59AM and 11:09AM: the only thing that is different is the time shown. So instead of 10 minutes gap from frame to frame, at 11AM it becomes 20 minutes.

@strmchaasr @Filip_K
I would add that ice water path (IWP) is critical indicator of huge lasting rains in the tropics. South Korea's GK2A geostationary weather satellite captured images and derived products are provided on Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA)'s website: https://nmsc.kma.go.kr/enhome/html/satellite/viewer/selectSatViewerEnhome.do?dataType=gk2a#

Below screenshot shows the huge ice clouds over South China Sea just off Vietnam and off Malaysia. Next screenshot shows Windy's weather radar layer over SCS. In comparison, there isn't much in Liquid Water Path (LWP).

@Filip_K Thanks for the link. So Australia's BoM does model sea waves. I raised that doubt b/c ACCESS on those two days poorly forecast low clouds over the part of South China Sea within 300km east of the Malay Peninsula during the time of high winds of the northeastern monsoon over vast area of the sea as compared with satellite Visible channel (ECMWF, otoh, got it right). ACCESS had been far more reliable than ECMWF in predicting lower to middle mid altitude relative humidity over the SCS, Karimata Strait, and Strait of Malacca but those days didn't see high sea waves.

I can't find ACCESS model in wave layer. Does anyone know if ACCESS models sea wave? Can't imagine how it can get any accuracy modelling convection without taking into account sea spray induced evaporation.

@idefix37 Sure. Is that a good excuse for putting on false warning on the chart and therefore Windy is not going to stop doing this crap?

Today Windy on Android begins displaying a warning label across its radiosonde chart: "ECMWF data is displayed, as EUMETSAT is not supported." Doesn't look pertinent to radiosonde chart at all. Radiosonde data are measurement data taken and reported from airborne instruments relayed from the respective launching stations at airports and are not ECMWF data, which are forecast produced from weather model. EUMETSAT is satellite capturing cloud images, inter alia, from space.

Please remove this clutter.

@idefix37 Pardon for jumping in at this discussion. Is the interpolation btwn points done at Windy based on the on-grid values provided by the forecasting entity (ACCESS, ECMWF, whatever)? I see Eurong is right on the eastern shore of a long narrow island facing the ocean and indeed both ACCESS & ECMWF forecast very narrow 2degC fluctuation btwn day and night, whereas just 4km West the fluctuation expands to 7degC. But MeteoBlue has this large fluctuation right on the shore, and--strangely--even 24km into the sea.

@Filip_K
On the phone, the Soundings window completely occludes the timeline, so no way to include the forecast datetime in the screenshot, let alone the reference datetime which has to be brought up from the info popup.

On the desktop, the timeline is not occluded by is displayed in the panel to the right along with the active layer (e.g. Wind), but even if you give this panel a width of 7cm the datetime is still occluded by other display items in the layer. What a waste of screenshot real estate just to capture the datetime. And, still the reference time isn't in view. See below. (Here, for radiosonde, of course the reference time is not needed.)

For radiosonde, OTOH, fortunately the datetime is part of the chart title.

It will be good if you just do like for radiosonde, i.e. include the datetimes in the chart title. Shouldn't be more than a 2 minute task.

@Hyojonh
(1) You don't need Premium to see station weather chart from 7 days ago.
(2) The chart I posted was taken on the day I posted, i.e. 20th.

@Filip_K Windy's sounding forecast charts are missing two critical pices of info: (1) forecasted date&time, and (2) forecasting date&time. Without (1), the chart becomes totally unusable as a record. Without (2), you don't know how long before the forecasted time the forecast was made and therefore whether it has assimilated the most up-to-date weather data.

@Filip_K Radiosonde ascent data from Penang (48601) and Kuantan (48657) have been missing from Windy for 6 and 4 days, respectively. They are available from NOAA's realtime database. I suggest Windy adds this realtime database as an alternative source of data.

@Filip_K This problem suddenly impacts most stations on Peninsular Malaysia, a sudden deep deterioration. There's no data from all but one from this morning 2023-09-15 0Z on Windy, which supposedly sources data from NOAA GTS, whereas I can download and display data no problem from NOAA realtime archive for ALL four stations (See below).
