      Re: Forecast Weather Radar

      Hi,

      Have you progressed this at all to provide the option to disable the weather radar forecast? I find it unhelpful and inaccurate.

      Also, when I load the weather radar forecast I use it by holding the slider and swiping back and forth with it across the screen repeatedly to get an idea of weather movement.

      Previously this was simply left and right to the limits of the screen and the weather radar imagery would hard stop at each end of the historic period of time being represented.

      However, now I can't do that as I have to stop in the middle which is hard to do accurately. I wish to be able to enable/disable the radar forecast in options please.

      This should not be a challenging option to implement and judging from other posts seems to be wanted by other users.

      Please let me know if you are able to implement this and allow users to customise their experience according to their use requirements.

      Many thanks.
      Andrew

        I agree wholeheartedly with this request; the radar forecast is next to useless, and the radar slider keeps jumping from 'actual' to 'forecast', which adds even more to the confusion.
        [This jumping isnt supposed to be possible, but I see it happens dozens of times a day]
        I have now verified that the jumping from 'actual' to 'forecast' happens on both my Windows 10 laptops running latest version of Firefox, but also on my Samsung phone running latest version of Firefox.
        So I'm thinking this snt just me..
        But setting aside my frustrations with what looks to be a bug in the Radar/forecast map, the forecast radar never tracks even close to the actual.
        So, I'd ask for this option(Forecast Radar) to be able to be turned off; same as we can do for lightning and others.

        Many Thanks.
