      @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!

                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?

                      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!

                            Like that new graphic on Radar+
                            Be good if the normal wind animation was that nice

                                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!

                                      Everybody has it. It's a free feature. Did you update the app recently?

                                          I love the new Radar+ layer and have been keeping it open in the background at work ever since I first noticed it was available a few weeks ago! My job requires weather awareness, including cloud cover (for photography and data collection) so I LOVE seeing both the radar and satellite on the same view. I didn't know about the option to review historical radar but am about to investigate that as well. What a great option. Thanks so much for continuing to add new features to the Premium subscription!

                                            @Mitch65 Those lightning "pops" used to drive me nuts until I figured out where the sounds were coming from! Now I love that feature.
