Snow flakes on radar
-
@Pkrash and most others in the thread. Wanting to know the precipitation type is not a " FAIL" even if this implementation doesn't look great. This has been done well by other sites (eg Netweather.tv/live-weather/radar - turn Weather On) where different colours are used to indicate precipitation type and colour intensity used to indicate amount of ppt. Windy should consider something like this
-
It’s not a fail. They can just make it better. Or give us the option to turn off it. In general it’s useful
-
I agree. Radar should be radar. If folks want graphics over their radar that should be a layer people can select/deselect.
-
@Suty well I’m from up north. I can tell when it’s snowing. Radar does absolutely no good with snowflakes Can I get a refund! Oh by the way 4️⃣ thumbs down to the moron that thought up this idea…. Well I won’t be recommending this app !!!
To anyone soon nor will I be renewing either. -
@Pkrash Why anybody would want to obscure the radar images is completely beyond me.
-
Hey, calling other users names isn’t helpful. The radar idea itself is actually great, it’s just not executed very well, and the interface could definitely be improved. They could even add an option to enable or disable the layer. There’s no need to insult people. And honestly, if you don’t renew or recommend the app, do you really think the admins would care that much?

@Pkrash Hello, we are planning to offer an option to turn this feature off in our upcoming update, so the user can choose if use or not this precipitation type on the radar data.
-
@Suty Thank you for listening to the feedback! I had cancelled my subscription because earlier it was indicated that there was no discussion to implement the option to turn this layer off. I know I'm just one lowly subscriber, but I'll definitely come back once this is addressed.
-
@Suty Well, that's disappointing. As it has rendered the feature I most reference in your (otherwise excellent) app, almost useless to me.
The details within the color gradients of the radar image are no longer visible, so it's significantly reduced it's value.
I posted elsewhere that a toggle to turn off the precipitation overlay or a slider to reduce it's intensity would be a viable alternative.
Alas...
My subscription ran out a month before this "improvement"...I guess it's good I didn't renew. -
@Suty Just saw your more recent post...
Thank you!! :D
-
@Suty FINALLY !!!! Thank you for allowing precipitation toggle. Was driving me crazy

Annual Member here. Today, we are getting Freezing Rain. Windy's radar is showing snow. Your competition is accurately showing freezing rain on the radar in this area. You all get the radar data from the same sources, so that is not the issue. Why can't you color code all the different precipitation types? The snow overlay looks cheap and is quite inaccurate.
