First time I see this and a few airfields are affected on my map. See attached picture with discrepancy for the destination LFLC. (Flight to begin 2 hours after picture is taken) Maybe I misunderstand something. Edited 7/18/2019 6:39:54 AM by pgroell

The blob in in the title in the Weather window shows the state of the TAF at the beginning (its main part) whereas on the map, as you slide the time slider forwards and backwards, the blobs change colour to represent the specific part of the TAF for the time you've selected. If you're on the SkyDemon Beta for iOS you can check out the changes now, if you like.

I'm' not on the IOS beta team have no time for that but knowing this has been adressed is enough for me. Will check the next update. Pascal
