@idefix37 Thank you. Yes, we already have it on our todo list.

Hi @vvc. We are trying to get better radar data/coverage for whole world, including Middle East. Unfortunately, radar data from Middle East are rarely easy to get.

For Saudi Arabia, currently our only provider is RainViewer. yanbuweather.com you mention in your previous post looks like it could be used as well, I'll look into it, thank you.

For UAE, the situation is most complicated. I was in contact with them a while ago and they are very unwilling to provide the data in any form. If you know if any way we could be provided with the data, we'll gladly incorporate it.

I checked processing of Cyprus DoM data on our side and we were using only data from lowest sweep (elevation 0.5˚). I've added data from sweep above it as well (elevation 1.35˚) which reach only about 60km from the radar site and do not contain artifacts. This should resolve this particular issue.
If you still encounter this or other artifact, feel free to let me know.

I believe this particular setting is not synced to cloud and is stored only locally in the browser. The Brave browser is quite restrictive about what can persist between sessions and might clear its local storage

Hi @lak73. As @idefix37 correctly pointed out, it is part of the data from Cyprus DoM. I'll let them know about the artifacts because I am quite sure that this wasn't part of the data before

@vvc for Saudi Arabia, we completely rely on 3rd party radar data provider and there is not much we can do about it. I tried contacting authorities of SA with request for the data, but without success so far.

If you have any tip/contact to the data, feel free to point me in the right direction and I will gladly incorporate it to windy (:

Hi @gdof15, start-up layer is probably stored in local browser storage. Mine is radar and it doesn't get synced to mobile up, thus I believe it's in the local storage only.

I believe I found it in the local storage as settings_startUpOverlay, see screenshot from my browser developer tools below

Displaying wind gusts from meteo-stations has also been recently requested here

@Windplayer Hi! Thank you for your request, it sounds interesting! We will consider it. There are multiple models in queue to include in Windy, but if there are more people demanding this one, we can give it a higher priority. T.
