@idefix37 thanks. pity -- that's where i paddle mostly.

Hi all,
I was kayaking in the Gulf islands (British Columbia, Canada, not far north of US border) this weekend and noticed that my windy app (I have a premium membership) was failing to show me tidal currents. Then, when I got home I fired up the webapp and got a broader view. It looks to me like the tidal current layer doesn't show anything much north of the US border..

Any chance anyone has any hints on how to see the amazing particle animation of tidal currents in Canada? Or is this an intermitent data issue?

In the below screenshot you can see how the tidal current animation cuts off a bit north of the US/Canada border (which is pretty irregular in this region)

an update for anyone who is interested. In the end I fetched the sounding forecast data from open-meteo. Then, I looked high and low for a skew-T graphing component. In the end I just used matplotlib and rendered a png. Even so there is no obviously blessed skew-t drawing python code. I used "from metpy.plots import SkewT".
It's pretty good. My only quibble is that I will need to hack around in the component to plot altitude in meters rather than pressure (which I think is essential for regular folk to see where potential inversions are relative to the valley we live in)

@Suty not surprising that you guys don’t have a component in your plans. Do the current API’s provide enough data for me to plot my own sounding chart?

In a perfect world I could get the forecast from several different models via one unified API (ie yours)

Hi all,
I work with a small environmental group in a small BC (Canada) town in a steep sided valley with serious air quality issues due to wood smoke when the mixing level is low.

I'd like to build a website that predicts low mixing levels in a visually evocative way to help folks know when they, if possible, should hold off from burning. The BC govt publishes a single number each morning.. the venting index. Not evocative.

I've been looking at the sounding diagrams and thinking how nice it would be if there was a react component or suchlike that we could embed. I'm not sure I'd call such an diagram an "evocative" visual -- but at least it has some scientific basis.

Any suggestions?
