      Why is the radar data/imaging consistently 10+ minutes old? Sometimes >15 minutes. As a premium subscriber I was under the impression that the data was faster/more frequently updated. After being a premium subscriber for a few weeks, it seems like presented data is older. ![alt text](image url) in this case the freshest data is 17 minutes old. I have fiber internet and 5ghz wifi so my network is not the issue here.

        @502893 Hello, the Windy Premium gives you access to up-to-date forecast data. The weather radar is a real-time reporting feature, and the visualization is delayed for a couple of minutes, which is normal.

          @korina Ok, thank you for your response but >10 minutes should not be considered "normal". When I posted this concern, my weather radar image was 17 minutes old which is not good at all, especially when dodging fast moving thunderstorms in South Florida. Is there anything that can be done about this delay? A setting perhaps?

            @502893 Where exactly did you notice this delay?
