Re: GRIB files

You do not need a colour windscale for winds, just read the wind barbs.

Hectopascals & Millibars are they different?/ Franks-Weather | The Weather Window

What grib viewer are you using? I use Ugrib. The cursor position tells me the BP, wind speed and direction for that lat long. The colours are really meaningless.

I would have agreed if you'd said "The colours are meaningless FOR ME"
I routinely use wind barbs and colours with Zygrib...
