Weather app adds wind scale to clarify what 12 mph means

Original: Is 12 mph breezy or windy? I put a wind scale right under the chart in Skylight so the number makes sense, and the line

An independent developer has added a wind scale directly beneath the wind-speed chart in Skylight, a weather app for iPhone, to help users judge whether readings like 12 mph count as breezy or windy. The scale sits alongside a line showing how wind builds through the morning, aiming to make raw numbers more intuitively understandable.

Why now: The developer is promoting a new update to the Skylight weather app that makes wind readings easier to interpret.
