Weather Radar no coverage Vietnam

Why has the weather radar function been switched off over Vietnam??
Can you please rectify this issue.
Thanks. -
@BenSmith1 Please check this post.

@Ondřej-Šutera
I was under the impression Windy uses satellite imagery for its weather radar?
There is only 1 ground based weather radar system in Vietnam located in Ho Chi Minh that only extends out to 75 kilometres.
Can you please advise where and from who Windy gets its weather radar data from? -
@BenSmith1 Here is the source of our data.

Hi @BenSmith1, our source of radar data (AMO) has gone down at around 20:20 UTC 30.10. and since then, we have no radar data for Vietnam.
Does their page (http://amo.gov.vn/radar/) work for you? Or do you know of any other source of radar data for Vietnam?
Thanks -
@Filip_K no, that address won’t load. Hopefully they switch it back on soon as me and everyone else I know uses Windy every day flying in Vietnam.
The only other website I’m aware of is:
Aviation Meteorological Centre - Than Son Nhat
URL: 113.161.121.25 -
Hi @Filip_K I just saw the radar coverage for Vietnam is back up and running. Thanks for getting onto it!
Is your original source working again or are you using the Than Son Nhat Met Centre data?Cheers,
Ben.

Hi @BenSmith1, yes, the original source is working (although on different address - http://hymetnet.gov.vn/radar/). I believe this source also covers area of Than Son Nhat Met Centre data
