<![CDATA[Radar data needed! Help us with the data gathering]]>As we are continuously improving Windy, we never stopped thinking to create radar layer. Unfortunately, there is not only one service provider, where we could go and just download the data from some FTP server. To illustrate the problem, on the image bellow you can see all the doppler radar listed by WMO.

Each country has a very different policy regarding those data. For example, USA gives those data to public for free (you can expect those to be added soon), however most of the states are not so generous and are hiding those data. To keep Windy free of charge, we don't want to pay for the data.

Therefore, I am asking for your help. Do you know which countries provide the radar data for free? And can you provide the FTP server to the data?

Current state (April 2017):

  • USA - data for free
  • Europe - OPERA project - whole European composite, which is heavily paid
  • Netherlands offers the data for free

Any help appreciated!

No, I am not aware of any source of raw data for Dominican republic, but it might be just my lack of knowledge (:
You can try to contact IDAC and ask them for the data: https://www.idac.gob.do/es/contactos/

Brazilian radars are the responsibility of the Brazilian Air Force and are available for access at www.redemet.aer.mil.br, if you can implement the radars in Windy, it would be much more practical and complete. I visualized that you added the weather radar of Argentina in the Windy system, but the one in Brazil is much more complete and comprehensive and I do not understand the reason for being in Windy yet, thank you.

For now I can give you this:

and

https://climatologia.meteochile.gob.cl/application/index/menuTematicoEmas
I will seek if there's FTP acceses. It somehow depends of the goverment and the military.

There where some thunder predicted today in Santiago, but as usual, no storms in Santiago, its a rare event.
I live in the premountain range of the city.

Have a good day!

At the moment windy "radar, lightning" layer is completely off compared to Slovenian national radar weather provider. You can put it on your "weather radar provider list..."

Why is windy radar lightning layer so different and unrealistic compared to Slovenian radar?

[check this source, official korea government data] for 480km coverage radar data! (http://www.weather.go.kr/weather/images/rader_integrate_480.jsp)
much more coverage than current data, purified image(filtered jitter), but there is about 5~10 min delay than realtime.

also, for the realtime raw image data, [this page](kor government official radar website) might be helpful. some jitter and noise might be included, but it's a rapid data. (http://radar.kma.go.kr/radar/ppi0.do)

Both time info are based on KST(9 hour ahead from UMT), and these data came from 27 radar sites in korea.

if any questions or translations needed, please note it to me. i'll try my best!
