Weather Radar for Binh Duong
-
@korina Thanks for the information, but somehow, its Day 5, and the radar are still daylong like this for the Ho Chi Minh City area.
Currently, only the Northern-Highland area of Vietnam has functional radar images.
So Im just wondering, which company is providing my location- Southern Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City Area radar map? Because it is currently the heavy rain season, and it is nessecary for the radar to be normal again, and the bug to stop. Hopefully windy could be in contact with them in regards to the Ho Chi Minh City - Southern Vietnam weather radar.
Best regards

@B777300ANA We receive this data from our provider and currently have no other source. We will monitor it and potentially look for another data provider.

Thanks for the update. However, currently its Saturday, August 27, the 9th day after the bug has appeared August 19, and the weather radar here in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam still appears as the offline mode.Really appreciate if it could be returned to normal soon. As the rain season wont end till December.

Its the 10th day. Still the radar is bugged and wont function properly. :(

This issue comes from the fact that this radar in Windy shows about one picture per hour. Try to set the radar loop to 12 h you will understand. Time lapse images are very choppy compared to the nearby radar to North. This is the reason why at the end of the loop, the picture is shown with stripes. It means that a new picture has not been received during the last 30 minutes of the loop.
So the question is: does this Vietnamese radar provides only one image per hour about? Or does the Windy provider is the cause of this issue.
Do you have a direct access (source and images) to the Vietnamese service who run the radar itself? -
@idefix37 Thanks for the update. To answer your question, before August 19, the Ho Chi Minh City weather radar was well-updated every 5-10 minutes, which gives a smooth and clear weather radar. However, since August 20, the radar here in South Vietnam has been continuosly in stripes. Im not sure of the Vietnamese radar source for windy. However, this is the link to Vietnam's national weather forecasting center. Best wishes Windy could be intouch with the Southern Vietnam radar provider over this issue.

Thank you for the link. But it does not show any radar picture (excepted a photography of a weather radar). So we are not able to know if the South radar works properly. -
@idefix37 Yep. So here is another example today. This radar map for my location has been continueing since 14:10 PM, and during the duration, it hasnt changed, while its another storm day, and this makes it have 0% accuracy for me to see where is the storm located.
So to this date, I think its a direct issue with Windy's South Vietnam radar provider. As radars only updates every around 4-6 hours, which is extremely unconvient for me located in the Vietnam rainy season.
Hopefully this issue doesnt continues to Sep 21, or else it would be 1 month period.

Would Windy check with the South Vietnam radar operator over the issue? Its nearly been 15 days now.

@B777300ANA Hello, the issue is that some radars send data in 10 minutes and some every half an hour, therefore it can appear like this. However, the data are still available.
