  @ivo Also quite frequent:

  For clickable URL, use [TEXT](http://some.url)

  It seems that the http:// prefix is mandatory, keep that in mind ! Or simply, test the result in the "Preview" first when creating the post !

  Ivo, Thank you very much for this superb tool. I came across of it just now as the Spanish paper, El País, linked to your predictive graph to illustrate the arrival of the huge storm that is coming ashore to Med coast just now. Congratulations for your deed, and thanks again for offering it to the world. I have become one of your followers.

  @ivo Thank you for your reply.

  I have a another question.

  Do you have a plan to add the PM2.5 and PM10 layers?

  In Korea, PM2.5 and PM10 are very useful data due to recent interest in fine dust.

  Found the alert pop up but there's nothing for storms. Are there plans for the storm warnings from the Bureau to be passed on in the future?

  Windy is fabulous!

  Past data would be really nice to have feature, if it is not going to cost you., As understood from above discussion.

  https://earth.nullschool.net help to view past data though am not sure if the website pays for it or some sponsors, it seems to fetch data on demand instead of storing.

  e.g.
  Hudhud cyclone

  If such an approach viable, your website could become a one place reference.

  Thanks for providing a great experience with windy.

  Maybe add a “save screen shot” button and another link to view screen shots created by the app.

  No problem with the fact, that most of this PWS are not installed by the rules for getting valid results especially with temperature? In my opinion this PWS should be clearly marked in windy, so that everyone knows that the values can differ from the real values

  @slzr100 If you are having difficulty changing the scale using an Android or iOS app, then do it using the Windy website viewed in a browser. There are some changes which can only be done on the website using a browser. When you close your settings in the browser, they are saved to the cloud and are available as the settings for either the Android or iOS app.

  Can you at least label the timezone unit for every time stamp on the map?

  For example:

  13:00 EDT(UTC-4)
  or

  17:00 UTC

  or 17:00 z

  Hello,

  I was wondering if you could incorporate the modeling information for Canada. Data found here:

  @ivo
  Thank you!

  Btw, I think you have to change the wx radar symbol because is the same with preci. type symbol (an umbrella!).
  How do you like something like this?
