Hello everyone,

I am trying to get more familiar with this app and after some google searches, I couldn't find the anwser. So I am using this Premium Satellite Widget on Infra+.

I was under the impression that the colours I see on the map were radar reflections. But when I look at the radar widget, I don't see the same colour pattern. Of course, radar isn't the same as satellite but I thought I could overlap the radar with the satelitte images.

So what exactly are the colours I am seeing on the Satellite widget? This is on IOS btw.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

@idefix37 Thank you for clarifying. It makes more sense when using the browser version. Is there a reason why some parts are coloured and some are not? When I see the coloured regions, the brightness temperature is lower. 'Non-coloured' clouds seem to be warmer. Why is it useful to be able to see this? In your previous post here, I saw that it might increase convective weather: https://community.windy.com/topic/15801/infra.

Can the radar reflection, which shows reflections of water particles (if I am correct), and the satellite cloud temperature be used to determine whether there is a chance of bad weather? If there is reflection and some convective weather, I assume the weather might be bad.

Is it currently not possible to have the satellite widget with a radar overlay? As I can currently with the Satellite layer?
