    • Slope of Environmental Lapse Rate on Sounding

      Hello! I love windy for checking paragliding forecasts. An important metric for paragliding is the slope of the environmental lapse rate.
      For example, 0.3-0.5C/100m is modest convection and 0.6-0.8C/100m is good thermals.

      Currently on windy we can look at the Environmental lapse rate on the sounding graph, but it would be nice if we had the option to look at the slope as a function of altitude so that we can better forecast thermic days.

      Or even a single point of the slope on the sounding graph that we could move around would be useful.
