India - Mahabaleshwar Radar data not displaying on Windy
-
Hello team,
I have noticed that the recently commissioned Mahabaleshwar DWR data is not yet integrated into Windy. It covers a crucial gap in radar coverage over Western Maharashtra and will be very useful for tracink. I have added screenshots showing the gap.https://mausam.imd.gov.in/responsive/radar.php?id=Mahabaleshwar
Request @suty @filip_k to please recheck and integrate into India's growing radar network. Thanks

@Athreya-Shetty Hello, we added this radar 2 weeks ago, however, according to info from our colleagues, sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't and we cannot do much with this.

@Suty Thanks for your response.
Thing is I tracked it today, and every time when it updated on IMD website (link I provided above), I still could not see the reflectivity on Windy. Could there be an issue with the processing because of different format, which is why it may not be updating on Windy? Would appreciate if your team could maybe recheck the Max_Z integration or perhaps remove it and add again?
I have checked on IMD webpage and when it works, the Max_Z product does update every 10 minutes or so.

Hi @Athreya-Shetty, we are aware of the Mahabaleshwar radar site. Currently, it is not being processed due to quite different technical requirements (different color legend, different filenames) compared to other radar sites.
I'll see what I can do about it. -
Understood, Thanks for clarifying @Filip_K !
I understand different radar products are difficult to process, appreciate your initiative and thanks to the team for working hard!
Hope you can find a solution.

@Athreya-Shetty good morning i love to see when people help windy Dev's make it better for india . It's me usually who let's know the Dev's about new radars website. Bugs and problems . And me alone . And also iitm radars in imd website have problems from the beginning like solapur

@HardikP Hello! Yes, I am aware of your role and have seen your posts informing and following up with developers about new radars, so thank you for that!
It's always good to have more people helping make Windy better and hope we can all contribute so its better for everybody ! As a longtime premium user, I simply informed them that the radar was not being processed, and they said they will look into it.
I have been tracking upcoming radar installations across India for a long time, and am also in touch with IMD regarding the same. IITM Mahabaleshwar and Mumbai radars don't usually have issues with updation, whereas Solapur is down for another reason for years.

Good Morning @filip_k 😊
Any luck with integrating the Mahabaleshwar Radar ? -
Hi @Athreya-Shetty, not yet, unfortunately, I have other higher-priority tasks on my TO-DO list. I will let you know when it's done.
