Radar Limited to Station Circles
-
All of a sudden, radar map data seems to only exist within a certain radius of each radar station leaving huge areas of no data. Just started today on both app and website. Please explain.
Thank you. -

If you don’t show a screenshot, or at least say where you observed that, what explanation could we give ? -
I have the same problem and are disappointed. I pay to have premium. You can see on the screenshot

These circles show the radius of each radar beam. It’s quite obvious there are not weather radars everywhere, specially over the oceans. Windy uses real radar data not radar-like data which are extrapolated from satellite data.
In the darker gray area there is no weather radar installation.
See examples:

In the US there is data being left out
Right now around Casper Wyoming is a good example. Compare Windy vs http://radar.weather.gov -

@Gkikas-LGPZ
You are probably right. The first post did not show a screenshot, and the second one with a screenshot was meaning something different. -
@idefix37 thankyou but why is there no radar for the whole of northern Canada. Ilive in the province of Quebec Canada and woild like to see the radar more North. Same goes for all the other provinces

@idefix37
