      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.

                                  Is it just clouds, or clouds and precip heading your way? Heavy precip or light? Radar+ gives you a more complete picture that allows you to be better prepared.

                                  Thanks for the wonderfully useful addition to Windy.

                                    @David-Polášek I subscribe to premium and I checked for updates and there wasn’t one… I just checked again. Now I had an update and I see it there. Thank you!!!

                                      Really like the new Radar+, it gives a whole new outlook on the progression of storms and rain related to cloud cover.

                                        upcoming version 43 is full of major updates. I think that will be one of the most packed updates we ever launched! :)

                                          Awesome update. As a bike commuter in the Pacific Northwest if the United States, figuring out incoming rain is key. Switching between these two layers has always showed that process down. Thank you for an excellent new addition!

                                            I just tried Radar+. In 6 hour mode, the cells seemed to be moving in the opposite direction of the regular radar loop. Fix it!
