@Rs-Parjapati Hello, our primary source for Indian radar images is from India Meteorological Department (IMD) and we also use images from Rainviewer because data from IMD don't contain all radars and have quite frequent outages as well.
If you know any other sources that can be used, please share them with us.

@Suty hi thanks for replying another website called a accu weather they show very realistic and accurate radar they can provide some data
-
@Rs-Parjapati Do you have any information about any source of data in India that could help us provide better data?
-
@Suty accu weather is the only hope you can contact them
-
@Rs-Parjapati We discussed this with colleagues and it seems they use a different visualization or source of data. We cannot do much with this.
-
@Suty hi if can plz talk to the Indian government
I heard they are trying to expand weather station
I can give them some advice and try to talk to
Major mobile company like Vivo, samsung about making windy the default weather app instant of accu weather they can provide some accurate data and invest in windy. windy is a great weather app it can save lots of people lives from weather realated disasters if gotten

@Suty hi reply

Hi @Rs-Parjapati, we are getting data from some of the radar sites directly from IMD (India Meteorology Department)
-
@Filip_K but I am saying the data you get from imd is not accurate plz find some alternative
-
@Rs-Parjapati
For which area do You find data inaccurate? Also as far as I know, there is no alternative to data from IMD. To my knowledge, nobody else is running weather radars in India. -
@Filip_K State Rajasthan district Nagaur, Nagaur's radar is 68 percent inaccurate plz solve this issue I will try to see are there any private radar operator

This is not an issue..windy use data that is available. They visualizes data..they don't produce them...
-
@Tomber42 I am saying the daya you get is a not accurate from imd try to talk with a about this issue when it's heavy raining the shoes light rain it is problematic
-
@Rs-Parjapati
I see, Nagaur disctrict is quite close to the edge of current radar coverage:

So my guess there is no radar site that is nearby and thus distant radars "see" only clouds and precipitation that is higher and further away from ground.
You can check all available IMD radars on their web.
I'm afraid there isn't much we can do about it. -
@Rs-Parjapati windy is not responsible for the accuracy of data..they use what they get
-
@Filip_K hey when are planning to add hail to the radar what are the other things In your todo
List -
@Rs-Parjapati
Where? Are radars in India able to detect hail ? I know they do that in USA. -
