Help us to test new Weather Radar overlay

Great radar.... though I am really missing the option to have the 'ghost' radar overlay of the last frame like you's used to have.

@azwillnj I agree - loved the ghost image overlay.
-
I like the layers & the play option that gives futures of predictions for weather to come

I have been involved in weather and planning in my 911 dispatch center for 11 years, so I am familiar with how radar and forecasting works. I meant to add the next hour or twos forecast model onto the end of the loop of the radar instead of having to go to another layer. Having an option to view it together would be great. Not a couple days forecast, just current conditions. I obviously was not clear in that in my one little sentence and should have expanded on what I meant. I appreciate your comments though, seriously.
We constantly monitor great weather sites, Windy being one of the main ones, to be able to better allocate resources ahead of time, and plan during active incidents. That way we aren't having to contact the local NWS weather desk each time an incident breaks out to get up to date information and only do that for larger, more serious incidents. -
Very good, I like this feature. Hope to expand to mainland China.

Good Day sir. here is the radar data page of Philippines can you test this sir for radar data gathering?. thank you https://www1.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/index.php

Radar data? See only a radar picture there.. This doesn't help.

God job.
If the data were enriched by minute scans, it would be perfect. :)

@gkikas-lgpz
Well, you are right, but I was thinking of a free radar composite, which can directly be used for windy. I edited my comment and included "free". -
@emsdude54
In fact the German weather service / Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) offers exactly this as open data (called "radar shift trend" internally): Together with the radar data for past hours, it includes a numerical prediction for the next two hours in 5 minutes steps on a 1km x 1km grid based on the past radar data. It would be great if windy could include this ultra-short-term prediction based on radar data, too! -
@chstdu would love this too, but problem is that dwd this offers for Germany only (of course, it's the German weather service), but windy wants to be a world wide service. So I think as long no more data for Europe or other parts of the world are available, they will not implement this
-
@tomber42
Yeah, you are totally right. Ideally, it should be done by all the weather services. Now I wrote to DWD and asked whether the numerical prediction models for radar shift trends themselves are also freely available. Maybe we, windy, or some university can compute the trends for other countries by ourselves then. -
Remarquablement précis. Contrôlé sur route au cours d'un trajet. Controlé sur place ensuite en Bretagne ! BRAVO
-
@ivo Fantastic upgrade and great app!!! Thank you!
-
You have to feature a "disable autoplay" option, a checkbox
-
brilliant !
-
Nice. I love the improvements. And I am so happy that the maps and pages load and execute quickly
-
great element, keep going for full coverage
-
@azwillnj We will consider it.

As we are continuously improving Windy, we’ve never stopped thinking to create – and expand – the radar feature. However, this service is depended on various data providers, and each country has a different policy regarding the management of these data (see https://on.windy.com/RadarDataGathering).
So far, our radar layer has been covering the USA (including Hawaii and coastal parts of Alaska), South Korea and a couple of islands in the North Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean.
After a period of hard work, now we are excited to announce that the long-anticipated Weather radar for a large part of Europe is out! Radar is covering the area from Spain to Finland (see this table). We are gathering radar data for other countries and we will be adding them slowly.
Check this most beautiful composite:
