No Brief description of the issue:
Liveweather is accurate in term of wind but put eveywhere the same few cumulus and don’t provide any snow in the nortern hemisphere (not completly true since after a lot of tests I could see snow one time).
I did Helsinky - St-Petersburg, flew in nothern Quebec today and had no snow, no proper clouds (same few cumulus) and no snow. Only wind was accurate compared to Meteoblue. Now leaving Vancouver to Juneau. It supposed to be overcast and light rain but nothing except the real wind. I think it’s been like that since a few days.
I did tests also with Community folder empty and reset online services.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Popcorn cloud looks to be the seeds of proper clouds that don’t get built sometimes in Live Weather. If you see the actual clouds suddenly appear in the air then the popcorns look to coincide.
The weather at the moment it’s showing too many clouds even where there should be none. Where we should have clear skies we get the popcorn clouds, and where in the world map shows what it should be a few, when you actually load in there too many, and of course of the wrong type as well!
Ok, so I put a name on this now, thanks. However, it does not after just cloud but absence of snow too. And another phenomenom too: Weather cut clear.
I flew Juneau PAJN to Anchorage PANC. Live weather was accurate in Juneau and about 75 NM from Anchorage, weather cut clear, back to popcorn clouds and no snow… in Alaska. I saw this cut in Quebec a few weeks before.

Leaving Shangai, weather was accurate. No popcorn clouds. But about 100 NM later, popcorn again and enroute toward Frankfurt, over Siberia, no snow, wind is accurate, popcorn clouds all around. Sad.
Been flying round the top of Norway recently. Was supposed to be heavy snow and next to no visibility but the weather was just scattered cloud and clear.
And this is METAR from EDDL
EDDL 161620Z 14012KT CAVOK 13/04 Q1021 NOSIG
as you can see sometimes its overcasted (as i am looking out of window and webcam of EDDL shows it too) but not recorded by METAR, because clouds are too high
Don`t blame the Live Weather in sim then even real METAR doesnt show every information you need for weather at any point on earth
I think the METAR thing is pointless. We can’t get the real world weather into the sim even if it uses METAR. Both METAR and prediction is fantasy weather in the sim. METAR is only an observation of weather nothing more. METAR isn’t a report meant to create weather with. Meteoblue is more of a tool to create weather with because thats what Meteoblue does (simulates weather).
I know it’s not as good as it used to be, but I think they’re going in the right direction…
I took these photos today flying in the south of Chile (SCQP, SCIE, SCTE)
I haven’t seen a double overcast in live weather for a long time
( minus the popcorn clouds off course )
