@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.

I am not crazy about this feature. Some warnings it does not show. Today when one of the tornado warnings had just gone into effect in Florida, the warnings layer did not show it. Plus I already know that when warnings expire, they don't disappear for some time after expiration. This is why I won't use that layer. I will stick to the Weather Service Enhanced Digital Database or other sites for real time watches and warnings.

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.

@gkikas-lgpz I right click, but I get the regular model weather forecast, but if I go to Airgram, I guess that counts as a sounding forecast. That shall suffice. Thanks!!

Sounding forecast does not work for me. All I get by right clicking is the usual forecast wind SPEED for a point on Earth; no sounding forecast.

OOPS I meant, why does Windy think we're offline in Lightning layer but NOT any other layer?
