Topmeteo

Have been playing with Topmeteo for the US and so far find it very professional. Does anyone know if there is a way to see thermal updraft velocity predictions in Topmeteo. Have not been able to find anything like Dr. Jack has for this parameter in Topmeteo.

Steve, if you click on "site forecast" there is a line for "Mean Climb" in kts. I know that's not exactly what you asked for, but it is useful. During my flight yesterday that parameter and the "Flight top" were very close to what I actually experienced as things died out in the afternoon.
