Hi there,
today I encountered that the METAR forecast seems to be wrong interpreted in terms of IMC via VMC. See attached screenshot that shows deviation between skydemon and aeroweather whereas aeroweather seems to be correct.
METAR states few in 3000ft at EDDL which is IMC for skydemon but VMC for aeroweather (and myself).
Thanks,
Oliver

What SkyDemon decides is V/M/I conditions is almost entirely up to you, as the user. You are encouraged to set your own minima with which you are comfortable, ensuring that the V/M/I indicators are actually useful to you.
One of the triggers over which you have no control, however, is the presence of CBs. That does (as hypothesised above) trigger the I indicator.
