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.

Looks great. Thank you.

I like the new details of how the cloud cover is presented. It seems that the nighttime side is brighter, too, than the older visible nighttime side.

@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.

@mravan200 WW3bis indeed a possibility, and we need to contain this Ukraine war and nip it in the bud before it ever spreads and turns into a world war. The commenter isn't saying there WILL be a world war; he's only suggesting it to make us aware of the possibility. Make people aware of the possibility NOW so we can PREVENT it.

Yes, the new radar does seem to look better.

@EzeStorm The way I see it, the lightning layer works in northern South America and the Americas, Western Europe, a little bit of Asia, and maybe Australia. It works in the Caribbean Sea, parts of the Atlantic and East Pacific. Yes, it doesn't work in much of the Southern Hemisphere. Now tonight, I notice the lightning layer has stopped working completely at this time. Recently it wasn't working and it turned out they got rid of the old lightning service and put in the nowcast service, which WAS working fine. Why wouldn't it work NOW?

@weatherfan Update: The lightning layer is back to working normally.
