Widget inconsistencies
-
@Suty
The screenshots in my last message are the non Premium version widget, same with those in my first post.
Should I make a test with the Premium widget version ? We have much convective rain here at the moment. -
@idefix37 I would appreciate if you would. Thank you in advance.

I checked another location where convective rain is forecast. I compare the Premium widget with Meteogram.
It is clear that the part of convective rain is missing in the amount per hour in the widget.
Only the figures of non-convective rainfall are displayed in the widget, except strangely at 18:00 (2.2mm).
So both the Premium and the non-Premium widgets are showing the same inconsistency i.e. the convective rain amounts are missing in the widget on iOS.

Any feedback on the widget glitch ? -
@idefix37 Our developer confirmed this and it will be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you for reporting.

Thank you for this confirmation. -
Re. Rainfall radar coverage: Radar coverage area - Calabria, Basilicata and part of Puglia in Southern Italy: On other weather websites this radar is has been and remains fully functional, however for quite a while (more than 3 weeks) Windy indicates that from this radar the data is missing.
See this for comparison (https://www.meteoeradar.it/notizie-meteo/cronaca-meteo-maltempo-ora-tocca-al-sud--d9cc3df2-9363-4275-a696-5de2f4114496) -

Some weather apps show radar pictures while they are missing on Windy.
The reason is because Windy offer real radar pictures from weather radar data.
The other apps you mention use some algorithms applied to satellite pictures giving approximate images.
If you like them you can use the radar map from Meteoblue.

How to know that these are not real radar images? Because they show precipitation in the middle of oceans where there are obviously no radar premises.
@suty
Has the Windy team considered publishing the Meteoblue radar map to fill in areas around the world not covered by real radars? -
@idefix37 Hello, this is not planned, since we want to keep only realtime observed data in our Radar layer.

@Suty
That's understandable.
