STOP the Radar from AUTOMATICALLY going into FORECAST
-
The most annoying and frustrating thing with the radar is having it going into FORECAST when it feels like it.
The FORECAST is incorrect and doesn't accurately show where the rain is going to go.
It's a useless feature and users need to option to turn it off.

Couldn't agree more. Get rid of the forecast section as it is completely useless and is so frustrating because it is so inaccurate.

@Brett-Campany Hi, we will fix this issue with accidental switching to the forecast part in the next update.

Yes; Forecast Radar is woefully inaccurate for this part of the world, and the fact that the radar keeps jumping across to Forecast, is very frustrating.
Not sure who gets any benefit from even having forecast Radar, given how inaccurate it usually is.
However, having a toggle to remove Forecast radar from the Radar timeline, would be BRILLIANT.Fingers crossed we soon have an option to disable it(as we do for lightning, particles, pressure, etc).

@Rod-Outback
There are probably people who use it and are likely okay with what it shows. But I agree, the ability to toggle it on and off would be splendid.

Hey @Suty! Thanks for your reply, yes I believe it would make a majority of the users very happy indeed!!
Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I though I would get notifications via the Windy site for the community!
Would love to see this issue fixed!

@Suty Here's a perfect demo of the issue, we've got small rain cells moving east to west but the forecast totally reverses the showers.

Any news on this? Here we are beginning of May and the radar keeps automatically rolling into forecast, it's really frustrating and misleading when the display changes modes uncommanded and you don't notice.
-
@Frank-Billington It will be fixed in the version 46, planned to be released in the second half of May.

I've also found myself wanting a button to move the radar display to "Now" and "Last Observation".
I would also appreciate a version without the interpolation of the original data, which would just display the pixels as they are available. There was a funnel cloud a week ago near my sister's place, and I wonder if the radar signature might have been clearer without interpolation.
I do appreciate the good job that Windy does with integration of the various systems, particularly the US and Canada. I asked Environment Canada about that integration in 2004, after seeing a prototype briefly on their site.
