I have recently noticed that when zoomed in to an area, new lightning strikes are surrounded by slowly expanding rings that soon fade away; what do these rings represent? Are they the expanding sound of thunder? That would be so cool! Thanks!

I love Windy.com and frequently access the maps. Is there a way to view an entire hemisphere? What about a whole globe that can be spun about by click and drag? Flat maps have too much distortion. Thanks!!

Howdy! Love windy.com a lot. I saw the 2017 solar eclipse from western Nebraska and would like to see the weather data collected by windy.com just before, during, and shortly after the event along the entire track.
Here are the relevant times:

Event UTC Time
First location to see the partial eclipse begin Aug 21 at 15:46:50
First location to see the full eclipse begin Aug 21 at 16:48:34
Maximum Eclipse Aug 21 at 18:25:35
Last location to see the full eclipse end Aug 21 at 20:02:33
Last location to see the partial eclipse end Aug 21 at 21:04:21

Thanks! Aloha!
