Very good question,also would be nice to know what Is the QNH, whilst some may say go and check out real forecast for that are, we know it's essentially broken and when working it's vastly different from from real weather so you do need to know what is present in the Sim

That's one of the problems with live weather, you have no way of checking what it is. We might need an addon like active sky after all.

The other problem is that with live weather you always have 3-knots wind with baked in light turbulence but nothing when flying through clouds or storms, although some in parts of the world other than the US say it's working there.

Theoretically if  live weather matched precisely real condition you could check any online internet aviation weather source and see weather. I've done that with Active Sky back in days!

That should be doable inside the sim, is it already in the wishlist on MS forum?

Live weather does NOT match real world weather most of the time, at least not in regards to pressure and wind. Clouds seem to be ok. Earlier today I flew a leg in Cambodia, and for the first time since launch the QNH actually matched the real metar 🙂 Winds were not matching though (they weren't 225/3 either).
