Help us to test new Weather Radar overlay

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:

Meteoradar is excellent!

I like, well done
Is it possible to reduce the speed of timelapse or choose this one ?

think u can get the radar to updatelittle bit faster like a min update

There are 1 min radar data? Where can we get this ? ;)

Excellent Progress!! THANK YOU.
Suggestions -
- Ability to enter "mouse-over mode" (both in radar and model views) where you can get lat/lon coordinates and data values displayed in a box just by mousing over. Mouse tip in this mode should be a cross-hair for accuracy. Speaking of getting lat/lon coordinates - is there no setting available to change to decimal degree coordinates?? I can't find it if there is - and MUCH NEEDED!
- keep adding more radars, particularly in Asia! (China would be a great 'next-step').

No radar data displayed at time of writing this. Just Grey screen with map outline. Don't think I even saw the radar areas marked come to think of it.
Edit: sorry my mistake. Most of the world is showing no data. USA has data and I think a few spots around Europe.

Greetings from Ireland. Don't see a radar feed for Ireland yet. Remember we get your weather first so good heads up to see it early over Ireland. I assume the Irish Met Office pass it to your central database. We use Windy all the time for our sea kayaking planning. Great if we could get more tides info for coastal areas too, especially on the East coast.
Love your site.
