      About this version
      Target: mobile.html
      Version: 39.3.2 (What's new)

      WebGL particles: not

      I can't access the radar overlay anymore since last update of Android (CalyxOS) or Windy (was updated nearly at the same time).
      I already tried to switch to compatibility mode, but this did not help.
      This error message keeps popping up:

      "It seems that radar failed. Radar uses webGL technology, that can occasionaly fail on some devices.
      What can you do? Update your browser or Windy App to the latest version. And try again please"

      Error console shows no entry.

        @ezfox Hi there, it looks like there are certain adjustments of WebGL by the system CalyxOS, so it is difficult to find the source of this issue. In general, radar and satellite layers need WebGL to work properly to be displayed.

        Do you have any option to test the behavior in standard browser (Chrome for example)?

          @ezfox same here. CalyxOS. I've been unable to access radar or satellite for the last 2 days which has been irritating.

            I have the same issue. I checked on CalyxOS Matrix room and they confirm issue is reported and they will look into it. Logged issue on Gitlab here if you want to follow https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos/-/issues/1850.

            Current workaround is to use the windy.com web version in the Chromium browser that is bundled with the CalyxOS system, @Ondřej-Šutera thanks for the tip :)

              CalyxOS 5.1.2 resolves the issue.
