I feel like this app gives the illusion of higher-fidelity data than it can really provide. It gives a temperature reading for any pixel I select, but appears to be interpolating from a relatively limited number of real-world data points.
I live in the flatlands near some mountains. I can look at one of the websites that show data from personal weather stations to see that the temperature is 15 degrees cooler up on the mountains. But windy shows the temp there being the same as here. I figure it’s just averaging the various locations around (but not on) the mountains. Better data exists, but they don’t seem to have it.
