I think he means the one we just clicked on to read this post. I agree - once read it should go away.

I would LOVE to receive alerts as push notifications!!!

Also, it would be great to set notifications for your 'current location' - not just for specific locations - so that as you move around alerts are relevant to where you actually are (i.e. when travelling).

Thanks for an absolutely amazing app!!!!

Currently, lightning is combined with the radar layer. It would be great if lightning could be made an optional, standalone layer - just like pressure isolines - so that it could be combined with any other layer, such as radar, satellite, etc. This would be especially useful now that you have provided several other excellent thunderstorm tracking tools such as the infrared satellite later.

Would this at all be something you would consider?

Thank you very much for fixing this issue - v28.0.3 looks great on the iPhone 12 Pro!!!!

Also, thank you for the new iOS 14 widget!

Keep up the great work... 👍

Thank you for removing the banner!

Those losing their minds about the use of “girls” need to chill out. Windy is from Europe, where they still use common sense in regards to language - unlike here in North America, where many read into and sensationalize the smallest nuances of words to make a statement. There is no infringement on equality or rights to see here... move on.

@Korina here’s a good example of how combining the lightning layer with the satellite IR layer is helpful in locating thunderstorms. This screenshot is from another product we use in the aviation world. I’d love to be able to get the same info from Windy’s far superior satellite resolution and interface!

The new version just released fixed the issue!! Thanks, @Korina!

@Korina I agree, the banner needs to go. It’s fine if it’s there initially, but should disappear as soon as the article is read.

I have a followup question/suggestion to my previous suggestion of a standalone lightning layer:

Would it be possible to integrate satellite-based lightning data to extend the availability of lightning data to areas on the globe outside of radio range, i.e. the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

@Korina

Hello,

It seems that METAR stations reporting an AUTO observation that does not include visibility or sky condition are being incorrectly labelled with LIFR conditions (see example below). I think they should be stripped of the label altogether and appear in the grey colour like non-METAR airports, as we really do not know the conditions at all and it can be misleading. Hopefully this can be corrected in a future update.

Thanks for this amazing feature and an outstanding product!!

Cheers,

Chris

@Korina no, the issue occurs globally - both live and when playing back radar history. Lighting shows on iPad, but not iPhone.

Any idea what’s causing this, @Korina ?

I realize there's been a weekend since I posted this, so it may have been buried since. @Korina, do you have any idea why I'm not seeing lightning on my iPhone anymore?

Lightning is not appearing on my iPhone only - no issues on the iPad. See the band of weather off the Carolina coast for a comparison in the attached screenshots. Note that the time stamp difference is due to the iPhone being in PST and the iPad in UTC; however, both screenshots are of the same time. This site won’t allow me to upload screen recordings, unfortunately.

There are no errors showing in the error console.

Thanks, @Korina! I hope to see it maybe one day soon...

Hi @korina,

This website doesn't allow me to upload screen recordings, so I've email it to your colleague Petra. There were no errors reported in the error console.

As I mentioned, the issue is intermittent, so you likely won't be able to reproduce it all the time. It seems that it usually occurs after having not opened the app in several hours.
