      Re: Option to turn off the weather radar forecast
      Please reconsider your approach to this. The future radar is inherently inaccurate and is by far the most annoying feature of your service. If you insist on keeping this feature, please add an option to turn it off. I have begun using a different radar app because of this. I like your graphical presentation and would return if this annoyance was addressed. On these threads, I have not seen anyone supporting the future radar, only complaining about it. Not sure why you added it.

        @VolaeroAviation Hi, you don't need to use that feature in our app. Regarding to many requests after releasing this function, we separate both animations and you can check only existing data without the prediction, so I don't see no reason why we should offer turning it off, because if you don't want to use it, you don't have to.

            Are you talking about Weather warnings.

            This has nothing to do with radar. A weather radar is a facility that monitors precipitation. It does not provide forecasts or warnings.

              This makes no sense. Mine CONSTANTLY switches to future radar, sometimes after just a few minutes, sometimes longer - totally random. It is useless to me, as it has no basis in reality of what is to come. I have seen it showing forecast storms moving from due south to due north, when you put it back to current EVERYTHING is moving from west to east, as they normally do. PLEASE TURN THIS OFF OR MAKE IT AN OPTION.

                @LaneYar HI, regarding this autoswitching to the forecast, it will be fixed in version 46.

                      I have cleared my (Opera) cache, cookies, history, saved site settings, app data, etc. for 'all time'; restarted my browser multiple times and restarted my (Win10) PC - yet it still switches over to future radar still today.

                        @LaneYar Hello, I am sorry about the false information from my end. Our colleagues postponed the release of this fix to 46.1, since there were certain issues with the functionality.
