That infamous bug with Meteoblue weather and incorrect snow coverage rendering is still unchanged. Today’s temperature just as an example: LSGS Sion, Switzerland, 29 deg Celsius (hot summer day, May 02), and the scenery is snow-covered. This is ridiculous. Trying to fly outside of real weather will not make any change - here you get your selected snow height from sea level up to the highest Alpine peaks. I measured a 50 km radius drawn from the highest area mountains, and meteoblue gives us snow within this circle. Instead of elevation and temperature it goes by distance from snowy peaks.
Why can MSFS and Meteoblue NOT use the latter’s much-touted snow map? Here’s a screenshot from today, May 02:

Not sure if this is an Active Sky issue or MSFS. Is there a reason that it is showing snow on the ground when there is no snow reported in the area?

I guess this is a shortcoming of the FS weather engine and Meteoblue. Snow is either everywhere, or nowhere, depending on the “Snow coverage” you adjust in the various weather presets. Real weather is even worse, you get snow at ALL elevations in a 50 km radius from the highest mountains.
