Weather radar animation doesn’t work properly in Central Macedonia and Epirus regions in Greece

Φαίνεται να υπάρχει πρόβλημα στα δεδομένα του παρόχου (ΕΜΥ)

Το πρόβλημα υφίσταται εδώ και πάνω από ένα μήνα. Γνωρίζετε αν αναμένεται επίλυση σύντομα;

@aidworker
Δεν γνωρίζω. Δυστυχώς υπάρχει σοβαρό πρόβλημα διαθεσιμότητας με τα μετεωρολογικά radar της ΕΜΥ.
Για προοπτική, δείτε και https://www.ot.gr/2023/12/21/tameio-anakampsis/tameio-anakampsis-nea-meteorologika-rantar-sti-maxi-kata-tis-klimatikis-allagis/
Μια πρόχειρη-ενδιάμεση λύση θα ήταν να παραχωρούνταν (ελεύθερα) τα δεδομένα από τα radar της 3Δ

Hi @Gkikas-LGPZ, do you know if 3D radar company has any data available, as you mention in your post? I can't find any

@Filip_K
3D is a private company.
Their radar data are not freely available.
You have nothing to lose if you ask them to provide some data through windy.
They cover a big part of Greece.

Also, southern parts of Greece are covered from a US Navy wx. radar in Naval Support Activity Souda Bay, Crete island.

3D is a serious tool ;)

Glad to see that windy integrated this radar covering South parts of Greece.

I also noted in EUMETNET OPERA
https://www.eumetnet.eu/activities/observations-programme/current-activities/opera-radar-animation/
that there are two active radars in Greece (located in Larissa and Andravida).

Please check if you can integrate those two into windy.

@Gkikas-LGPZ
Interesting, thank You for noticing. Unfortunately, radar images from EMY website are currently still not available:

I'll check the OPERA data. But as far as I know, they are available at quite coarse time step (15m) and also quite delayed. But better than nothing I guess, since there is currently no other source...

@Filip_K
As you said ... better than nothing ....
