Future Radar?
-
Is there a future radar feature available? This feature is available in the AccuWeather app, Apple weather app, and Weather Channel app. Is there a setting within the Windy app that needs to be activated to view future radar?

@Mike-Zent We are aware of this feature in different apps and we have some plans with this in the future. However, I don't have any specific time period.

I thought we would get that feature. -
@Mike-Zent see here and you will see that this featuren is useless https://community.windy.com/topic/26216/please-improve-the-radar-features?_=1687457618902

It is a forecast so not a guarantee. But radar forecast would be a great enhancement of the app. Almost every weather app shows the forecast. -
The "Future Radar" in Windy is displayed under the "Rain, Thunder" tab on the right hand side.
It is far more advanced than many other weather apps out therewith most showing only 1 to 3 hours of future durations.
In Windy, the "Future" radar can display hour by hour up to TEN days of advanced animated predictions into the future by clicking the play button at bottom of screen (or by using the slider bar).. Not only can Windy display the Future radar so far ahead but it also offers the user to decide on which of the four (4) forcasting/prediction models (ECMWF, GFS, ACCESS and ICON) the user may prefer to use. Those four models are at bottom right of screen.
Hope this helps.
Many happy greetings from Tasmania. -
For those, who only use mobile app or miss this feature, we already released this feature for radar layer this week. For now, it is available only for the web app, but we are testing mobile apps as well.

@Suty This is awesome! Just saw it in the app! Would love a setting to have it automatically loop the past and future. As it is, it loops the past, then I have to drag the slider into the red, and then it will loop the future.
Also, while I'm making feature requests, I'd love to see LOW temps for each night on the 4-day forecast at startup. For hiking and camping, I'm much more concerned about the low temp at night so I know which sleeping bag to bring. Edit: and even if I'm home, I want to know if it'll be below freezing at night so I can take care of water and make sure it doesn't freeze, and so I know if I need to close my windows at night.
