      For some time now there is repeating glitch in representation of data taken from Canadian government weather radar.

      I'm seeing (on widget, in app and browser) random lines of supposed precipitation as well as permanent ones like in picture below.

      Big THANK YOU for awesome work you all do.

        Radial spokes, due to WiFi 802.11N base units operating within wx. radar spectrum space (5600-5650 MHZ).

          @gkikas-lgpz Thank you for your explanation but I fail to understand how is it helping to solve this issue?

          Infact, where I assume data is coming from there are no issues with radial spokes :(

            @milkook Hi, we will have a look at it, those shapes are usually caused by radar maintenance or connection disturbance.

              @korina this last update is amazing but unfortunately it didn't fix the aforementioned radar problem.

              It appears that same algorithm is interpolating data with different resolution quality which makes graphic representation more sensitive.

              You can clearly see the radius of incoming weather differently interpolated between NOAA and GoC data while radial lines are still recognizable even through actual weather reading.

              To fix this and add ability to set preferred weather model on app startup would make this app absolutely perfect, for me :)

              Thank you for your efforts!
