How to show radiation stations on Windy.com

[David Polášek]

Since last March, you can find more than 5,000 radioactivity measurement stations on Windy.com. This is mainly thanks to the resources of EURDEP, and SaveEcoBot.

Before you start monitoring radiation stations, we recommend you check out this article on what radioactivity exposure is still safe and what is not.

You can also see on the map the significant deviation from other values at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where readings commonly reach values between 4000 and 6000. Such values are common at this site.

Where to find radioactivity measurement stations

Mobile/tablet version

• Go to the menu
• Slide down to the section "Display on the map"
• Click on "Radiation"

Desktop version

• Go to the bottom right corner of Windy.com
• Click on More layers
• Pick Radiation

TIP: To have the radiation layer always at hand, move the toggle switch in the menu to lock the position of the layer among 7 locked layers (POIs)

Each measurement station can be clicked to see the previous day's values. In addition, if you already have a new version of Windy.com, you can preview each station without opening its detail.

Click on More layers
Pick Radiation

Radiation layer does not exist under more layers on my desktop.

@vegomaticjuicer Please see the gif above, it shows where to find it.

@Korina !

See the screen shots of my layers and the search results

[Korina]

@vegomaticjuicer In the gif you can see that there is another option "More layers..." next to it.

@Korina

OIC ! For anyone else like me see the screen shot, there are two More Layers... I was clicking the one above not below.

Thanks for getting me sorted!

I do NOT see "Radiation" where it says pick "Radiation"

Desktop version
Go to the bottom right corner of Windy.com
Click on More layers
Pick Radiation

Therefore I cannot see the radiation stations. Any ideas?

[boisvert]

@vegomaticjuicer Okay...why are there two separate "More layers". Confusing.

@boisvert
Yes, it’s always a problem when explaining about More layer … in bottom right corner of the browser version.
It would be simpler to say More items… or even better More map items… if space enough.
