      Greetings

      I’m a premium member. And I cannot see the future forecast except for maybe the next hour.
      I’d like to know the thunderstorm and precipitation forecast for the next 24 hours. Why does it instead show me the LAST 24 hours?

        @Phileas-Fogg The "Rain, thunder" layer is where you want to be looking (sounds like you're looking at the "radar"). There you can see what the different models are saying might happen in the future.

          You think that the Radar layer should predict future rains. But a radar is NOT a tool that predicts the future.
          Radars that detect and track the flight of planes or the speed of cars are not able to predict the future trajectory of these mobiles. The hour that the Radar layer visualizes in the future is only an extrapolation of the previous hour, it is NOT a real forecast.
          As @Wheats says, look at the Rain, thunder layer and preferably as predicted by the different weather models available in your area.
