@yves70 In satellite what do these colors mean? give to know the type of cloud?

@gkikas-lgpz thanks

@mbm12 Hello, there is no certain way to determine which model is the best. We recommend to try all the available models to see which suits your location the most.

I saw all the models for today, and they didn't give any rain, but it is still raining 17h:30m .

@mbm12 Hello, please check this thread, there is an explanation for Satellite clouds - https://community.windy.com/topic/13581/novice-question-about-satellite-imagery/4?_=1616688719066

According to this site https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satmet/modules/4_clouds/clouds-3.html#tag give to identify which type of cloud, I want to know if in Windy, which satellite images can I identify them ?

As @idefix37 said, if your objective is to be able to recognize cloud types, then you should go to specific web site to learn the different types because it is not so easy. You can already go to this website : https://www.thoughtco.com/types-of-clouds-recognize-in-the-sky-4025569

Does this gray cloud mean heavy rain?

Which forecasting model is more accurate? Because this ECMWF model lately is making a lot of mistakes for my city, at 11 o'clock it is raining and when checking on the radar there is no rain.

As explained by @Korina post, you have the possibility to know the cloud altitude, but identifying the cloud types according to the cloud classification is not easy from the satellite view.

In this photo, can you tell which type of cloud is by its color? Could you explain the differences between these clouds and their precipitations?

@korina said in doubts about weather forecasts:

@mbm12 Weather radar shows the data in real-time.

In Brazil in the state of Ceará is not in real time

@korina What is the update interval of the weather radar?

How do I know the next update of the forecasting models? No next update appears.

How do I know the types of clouds?

@yves70 said in what does this 33dBZ value mean on the radar?:

@mbm12
In theory, the colder the more rain. Cold cloud means high cloud like a cumulonimbus but be careful because it should be thick as well, as it is the case for cumulonimbus. Cirrus are also high but will not generate rain

In the maps of clouds give to know which types of clouds?

what does low, medium and high cloud mean?
