Precipitation Type Icons on Radar

They explained to me that it is not so simple

Who explained this ?

By the way the discussion about using snow forecast data mixed with pure radar data is still open.

@Wheats explained why at the moment is not possible to implement what I asked for.

@Wheats @michele7 Yes, we have certain plans for this enhancement, but for now, I don't have any specific time period when this will be done.

@michele7

You said

However, I would still like to have this function, even if the data is not provided by the radar

Mixing real radar data (observation) and snow data (forecast) will lead to many complaints.
We know that the limit between rain and snow is very difficult to predict. This limit is not exactly at 0°C because it can snow at 4°C due to the cooling of the air with heavy snowfalls.

Then we know that temperature forecasts by medium-resolution models used for global coverage are wrong in mountains.

I understand, it makes sense. Thanks for the explanation :)

@Suty

awesome, thanks for the reply!

I am sorry for the off topic, but I can't find a discussion here on the forum. Why does the satellite animation stop in the last 25/30 minutes? Has this bug already been reported? Or is it just my problem

Thanks!

@michele7
By "stop" what do you mean exactly? Does it go blank? Does it just not update? Does the bar no longer move?
If you can provide some pictures and clarification (like what is happening and what device/browser you are using), that will help Windy team.

@Wheats

Yes sure. The animation freezes while the timeline bar continues to move. Is it a bug or it’s normal? (I am using the Windy app latest version 44.1.2, IPhone 16 pro max IOS 18.2.1)

I uploaded a recording of my screen.

@michele7 I can't really help but as a user who wanders this forum fairly often I really appreciate the extra detail and video recording... Can't tell you how often I see the admins/mods just trying to get this exact information out of people, like pulling teeth sometimes I can imagine lol

michele7

@Wheats

Yes I understand, you are right. The more information is provided, the easier it is to understand the problem. do you suggest me to post the problem in the bug section, opening a new thread?

Wheats

@michele7 sure yeah, maybe others are noticing it too and can comment
