      Hello,
      The Radar is never working over Romania and seems to always be showing glitches and incorrect data over Romania.
      I compared it to other providers multiple times a day and it's always wrong and glitching on Windy.
      Could you please check it out and resolve the issue ?
      Thanks for your help !

        @Windy1688435 Hello, do you have any official provider (some national organization,...) of radar data for this country? If you know about any, please share the source with us.

          Radars in Romania are bugging me too, for months.

          They show some kind of "fog". Or radial lines, sometimes.
          They show that it is raining, when it is, in fact, not raining.

          I think there are at least 4 radars behaving like that, 1 might be in Bulgaria.
          One of them is definitely in Timisoara, Romania.

          Actually, it might be 7 radars: see here.

          iradar shows this:

          while windy show these clouds:

          As for official provider: I had an radar app on android that could filter radar data, and ignore values below certain level, but I forgot its name, and I dont have it anymore. That app showed radars name, location, website etc.
          I'll try to look it up. Maybe it wasn't an app, but a website.

            @Windy1688435 Yeah I've noted the same issue, sometimes the whole radar data is bluish covering all the country...

            Currently it looks like this: d096f6b9-52f5-4675-a47e-d5039cc0eb6b-image.png

            While official Romanian Data looks like this:
            54da5af3-814a-4db4-a678-4e26eb09b36e-image.png

            Seems like there are some issues with some filtering and showing some negative values as positive.

                  @YacineBoussoufa Hello, I checked the situation on our end and we use the same data as you shared. The difference is only caused by the difference in the lowest data we display, compared to the source.

                      @przemo1986 Right now, we don't see any issue with this. We only use more sensitive threshold for displaying data.
