Windy launches Radar+ layer combining Satellite and Radar view
-
@Polina-Nozdrina This an excellent addition to Windy, thank you guys So Much for your hard work here!
The Radar+ layer is incredibly useful as it combines the weather radar and satellite layers ~something I was constantly switching in between to get a better understanding of approaching storms in my area ... or also watching in other parts of the world! :) From a Technical point of view it appears to be working really well and have been using it more and more often ~ and the tools to switch between layers (and change the spectrum) all being available under the timeline toolbar is a great touch. REally enjoying this feature, Great work!
The historical archive feature I've yet to try and am excited to as this is something I've personally always hoped to have available! ~ I can't wait to try this out! :D
Fantastic! Thank you again ~ em :D

great. windy is getting better and better -
Windy is the best weather app ive ever used. Been using it sense Dec of 2021. The newest feat...Radar+ Rocks!!. Its smooth, you really see a storm in a new light then every before. Everything windy weather is truly amazing #1 in my book hands down. Windy you guys Rock!!

Very good combination, I used to switch back and forth. Thanks, keep it up!
-
@Polina-Nozdrina this is a great addition to the app! Instead of constantly going back and forth between radar and satellite they are both right there. Enjoying the three visual choices as well, plus I can look at one or the other very easily. This is just to much fun and incredibly useful. Well done from a weather junky!

Hi Polina, thx to the windy-team for this nice option. Living in southern Germany near a sea with my sail-boat so this is very helpful for decisions to sail or to bike - or maybe to sleep a little bit longer 😂👍🏼
-
I used to flick between the two views whenever a storm was passing over to get some idea of when the rain would come, how strong it would be, and when it might stop. Plus for tracking thunderstorms. Combining these two views makes great sense and it'll be the one I use whenever the storms arrive.

This is a wonderful combination in this layer. I find it really useful to see and follow live storms in digital. Thank you so much!
-
I don’t have it 😭
-
Thanks for this new feature! Very useful! I was regularly switching between theese two layers.
-
This will be great, but Radar+ layer does not show in my layers. What do i need to do?
-
Looks good on my app
-
fabulous tool if the images are as current as the originals:) very helpful and an intuitive step forward. I would still like to see rocking animations.. the back and forth really add a level of interpretation
go team windy:)) -
From sailing and windsurfing point of view it’s very useful feature, thank you Windy and keep going! Also for officers on vessels equipped with wind assisted propulsion system Windy is extremely important for routes optimizations. We use it on daily basis.

Hi!
I use windy app for sailing and it’s the best up for sure to predict what’s coming, but I also need the windy tin mug to feel the weather better! -
@Stewed
Like that new graphic on Radar+
Be good if the normal wind animation was that nice -
@Polina-Nozdrina
i do not have it in my layers…what should i do? …or you should do it? -
Absolutely legendary, it’s great to see the rain images juxtaposed on the weather systems, makes perfect sense and why wasn’t it thought of before (living in Ireland this aspect of weather gets a lot of usage).
Curious ticking noises whilst reading the introduction, couldn’t work out what was happening until I saw the underlying screen with storms happening on the Eastern seaboard of the USA 🙃 -
These are outstanding new features! We live on the Albemarle Sound behind the Outer Banks of NC. This will allow us to critically observe the potential impacts of severe weather, especially hurricanes, and give us more confidence in response to emergency situations. Thanks Windy!

I live in by the Atlantic coast, this will to make more accurate go or no go VFR flights.
