@Suty I have further recommendation for removing visual clutter, so please consider the following improvements to your app as well:
- please remove all the temperature readings in degrees and replace them with a similar system, where green is a "nice" temperature according to your designer, yellow is "ok" and "red" is either too hot or too cold.
- obviously you can remove the "feels like" temperature after this improvement, to keep the interface as simple as possible
- same goes for the wind reading in numbers, if you check my screenshot above, it makes the screen extremely cluttered. I recommend a face blowing air with its cheeks being variously colored based on how hard the emoji is blowing air.
- wind gusts can be symbolized by the face shaking based on how gusty it is.
I am available for consultation on a per hour basis if you need further improvements for the interface, as I can see your designer is really unambitious about removing visual clutter. And all we really want from Windy is just a soothing interface without overwhelming us with information.
Ultimately I hope we can get to a state where the app can tell me how I should feel about the weather by using colors alone.

As silly as this sounds, this is really what you're saying with your update and it makes me scratch my head. First you (Windy) make a huge deal out of predictability as the new feature for 51.x, hype everybody up how useful this information is, then practically reduce it to yes/maybe/no, instead of a more granular percentage.
As somebody who obviously cares enough about weather forecast to pay for it, I'm seeing less and less the value proposition compared to the Google Weather app that comes with my phone for free. It gives me probabilities for rain in 5% increments per hour, while windy is often confidently wrong in its predictions.
This predictability partially addressed this issue, and now this design change took away most of the benefits gained. I'm getting confused what I am really paying a premium for, if your goal is to remove useful information from your users that you previously provided to please some designers.
This app is for data nerds, who want all the information, and are willing to scroll through and compare 10 different prediction models to squeeze a little bit more clue out of them about what's likely to happen. Removing predictability percentages to make your app less cluttered is like trying to remove buttons in an airliner's cockpit to make it more soothing for the pilots. Completely misses the point for who's using your product.
