    • RE: New map on Windy: Active fires

      This is a marvellous addition, great job!

      However, or shall I say as usual (?) this should be taken with a grain of salt. Just like Tom wrote "The rate of release of thermal radiation by a fire is believed to be related to the rate at which fuel is being consumed and smoke produced" , i. e. not always. Industrial complexes with hot gases emissions and fumes, may trigger thermal radiations large enough to be mistaken for a wild fire: take a look at the following screen snapshot as I can swear that there is no active wild fire over Madrid, Spain, or Marseille, France (where oil refineries are located) at this time, but indeed industrial complexes most probably spitting hot gases to the atmosphere.

      Anyway with this warning in mind, I consider this is as a -great- addition. Hats down.

      @TZ "the data is valid for the previous day - it is not real-time". Hmm ...that's interesting to note and keep in mind TZ, so may I humbly suggest a kinda floating window indicating these limitations with, maybe, a time stamp about when the data has been processed?
      What Windy.com is very good at is that in a single place one can find almost every environmental data he wishes to find. So when a rather strong limitation such as this one rises, it is my opinion that it should be, somehow, somewhere, clearly stated.

      This is just to keep the big wheel turning, keep up the good work!
