      Hello,
      This is my first post in this forum after I subscribed to the Premium version of Windy !

      My new home being in Seoul (South Korea), I am very puzzled to discover that the data for the radar seem to “disappear in the sky” when reaching the western borders of South Korea, coming from mainland China : is it a temporary issue, a bug, or something related to the military status of this country (still technically at war with its crazy twin-neighbor North Korea…) ?

      These data are very detailed west of a curved north-south line in the middle of the Yellow/China Sea, and suddenly there is almost “nothing” displayed as radar objects (clouds…) east of this line : exactly like in the 70’s and 80’s sci-fi series “Logan’s Run”, it seems that a “crystal cover” is in place in the atmosphere between Korea and China…

      Please confirm if this a bug, or a normal behavior of such radar data for South Korea ?

      Thank you !

        Yes, there is a radar issue between Korea and China, probably due to bad overlap between radar sources in this area. Hopefully someone from the Windy team will give you a more specific answer on Monday.

          @DiSk64 As @idefix37 said, this is caused by overlapping two different radars, different sources of data.
