This would be an improvement, not just for visuals. Lots of data is going missing because the UV index is being classified instead of showing the numeric values! It would be great to have more information here, since there is a substantial difference between an index of 3 and 5, despite both being considered moderate (keep in mind, the UV index is a linear scale). It seems like the colors on the map already account for this, so why doesn't it get shown in the weather picker?

RE: UV Index Map
@idefix37 All good! Thank you for your help. Just putting this out there as something simple that the Windy team could implement quickly and would greatly improve the experience with the UV index.

RE: UV Index Map
@idefix37 The scale is not the issue, the weather picker is. In your screenshot, the actual numbers get displayed in the picker, but on a 2D map, they don't. That's the topic of this thread.

RE: UV Index Map
@idefix37 Yes, I was wondering about the fact that the UV index gets displayed as a number in the 3D map, but in the 2D map - that is something I still don't understand. It's perfectly fine that you can't do anything more for this request, I still appreciate your help! I'm hoping the Windy team takes note of this.

RE: UV Index Map
@idefix37 Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't solve the problem at hand. This thread is about the lack of a number for the UV index. Windy (in the 2D view at least) only shows the categorisation, such as Low, Moderate, High, etc., which isn't useful enough.

RE: UV Index Map
Interestingly, it seems like this is part of the 3D map (don't know since when, I never use it, but I assume recently), so that's an improvement at least.
It just makes it so much weirder to me though, since the feature is obviously implemented already, but doesn't get displayed in the 2D map, why?! I don't like the 3D map since it sucks away performance for little to no benefit, and isn't available on mobile either. Can't this just be part of the 2D map?
