@TZ To be consistent with ATC vocabulary, the current display of Cloud Bases (because they are in AGL) should be renamed Ceilings. I would also suggest adding a separate display called Cloud Bases which would be in MSL.
I have few complaints about the fine Windy product... but the above misuse of AGL for MSL, also occurs with Freezing Level, which currently is AGL and be much more useful if displayed in MSL. When we pick an altitude to fly, we want to know forecasted Freezing Level in MSL.
Thanks for a fine product.

RE: Enroute 2D weather cut (similar to Gramet or Meteoblue)
As a GA pilot I would also VERY much like to see such an Enroute weather "cut". Thx.

Cloud Bases, Cloud Tops, Freezing Level -- should be shown in MSL
Hello,
Cloud Bases, Cloud Tops, Freezing Level are all currently displayed as Above Ground Level (AGL). To be a reasonable aid for pilots, they should (must, pretty much) be recalculated and displayed in Mean Sea Level (MSL). Please!
I love Windy... it's an absolutely GREAT product... but this issue (displaying AGL when it should be MSL) is quite annoying (and possibly dangerous).
Thanks,

Freezing Altitude should be in MSL
For pilots, Freezing Altitude (better termed Freezing Level) MUST be in MSL (above Mean Sea Level) to be useful.
Thanks,
