I agree. If the 3D were prominently placed in the layers, it would be noticed, and if people like the graphics then it WILL get used.

@peter-llanes I don't recall a 3D mode. I must have missed THAT one; it may have been around for a brief time. 3D mode should be a feature they can develop. Why not develop the feature such that it would work with radar, which would be good for knowing the height of thunderstorms, like these TV radars do. Also I would like to see the lightning integrated in a future 3D mode. I would imagine there would be a LOT of demand for such a 3D mode. If TV radars can do it, so could Windy.

The new forecast on Snow Depth; that one is very neat!!

I also re-checked on the speed of animation; turned out it works fine on the IR as well as all the other things, visible day/night, and IR + enhanced. I had to remember the little dog, rabbit button to toggle for the animation speed.

I re-checked, and I re-read what it says about the improvements, and I saw the mention of the option for changing to Fahrenheit, and I looked at the Legend, and found the toggle for Celsius to Fahrenheit. It works fine!!

How often do the "Active Fires" update? Fires have been known to rapidly intensify, sometimes in a matter of minutes, and not only intensify but rapidly expand in size. Perhaps the satellite could measure how many acres is the current fire size; how many acres totally have burned. Updates perhaps could be provided every 10 minutes just like the clouds. Speaking of which, the standard infrared seems to animate much faster than the Enhanced Infrared, so yeah, that's an improvement; the standard one also animates faster than it itself used to. Seems like the cirrus features can be seen better now on the standard IR than it used to be. Not much has changed regarding the speed on the Enhanced IR or the colors.

I DO like the cloud temperature thing the new satellite now has; it should have an option, however, to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit; it does not have such an option NOW. I would also like to see the temperatures that are greater than -33 C. Also, why was -33 C picked as a temp for which it can't measure above that level? If the satellite can see fog at the surface, it would be nice if the satellite could measure fog temperature on the ground. The fog temperature would give you pretty much what the dew point is on the ground; this would be especially useful in summer. I like the global forecast for any point on Earth. I haven't found the "active fires" yet.

The satellite seems to update regularly in 10 + minute intervals. When I animate it, I do not get the continuous smooth flow you seem to have in your demonstration video. The before and after pictures look the same, so you are going to have to prove it to me that there REALLY are differences in the quality of the before improvement and after improvement photos. Otherwise, I see nothing new. The animation that I get is the same 10 + time step animation that I had before the "improvements". I see no change in the color presentation.

@Daniel-Hayward Both this European and that Japanese one have the 10-minute time steps. I think that Japanese one, like our GOES, has a Global Lightning Mapper, too.

@hidp123 Windy already has the ability to see the clouds at night. That's what the blue clouds are at night. It's simply the satellite's interpretation of what clouds would look like at night if they could be seen from space by astronauts, which they cannot, but with all these microwave sensors and doodads onboard, now we CAN see clouds at night. Also, just go to IR and IR +. Only thing is IR + will not update as often as visible and IR.

@TZ I have a suggestion. Consider switching the satellite provider to the GOES -16 AND GOES-17 satellites instead of the current European one. Those satellites can distinguish between snow and clouds. You would also still have the ability to see clouds in IR at night, plus IR +. Also, 5-minute time steps are available with the GOES satellites.

Nice job on adding more radars!! However, when will sites like blitzortung.org REALLY improve so that more lightning can be displayed, such as the African countries, more of China and India, South America, the IntraTropical Convergence Zone?(ITCZ)? Sometimes we do see lightning in hurricanes, which is cool, even out in the mid-oceans. I do notice that the radar precipitation doesn't show as much precipitation as some other sites do, like Weather Underground, for example. It does seem to be a fairly accurate radar. Keep on adding more countries and radars!! Maybe the imagery will improve. Wintry precip should also be added.
