I just went to https://24timezones.com/timezone-map to complain that they don't have the weather on their site. The fiends!

"Show lightnings" - should be "Show lightning" - radar layer
See image. Change "lightnings" to "lightning".
Reported 13 days ago in general comments area as well.

Minimal pressure at centre of intense low (Dorian). NOAA:916mbar; Windy:956mbar (MOD EDIT: Actual data vs Forecast data?)
Dorian is currently (as of this writing) reported as 916 mbar ("Minimum central pressure") by NOAA.
But on Windy, the centre is shown as 956 mbar. (Or a near to centre isobar?).Is there a reason for the mismatch? Can this be improved? Windy intense lows are consistently reporting higher than 'official' source actual minimal lows.
References below: A) NOAA Dorian status for 1100UTC and B) Current Windy image for approx same time.

Weather Radar bug
I get this when I turn on the weather radar display sometimes, or at the end of a real time "play".
Should look more like:
Frankly, I'd prefer the raw Environment Canada data overlaid, such as:
And, please turn off lightning and sound as defaults!

Please confirm contribution credit card charge is to : FSPRG.COM?
Title says it all. Amount sort of works (after currency conversion). But I want to be sure.
Thx. -
RE: Recommended browser for Windy
Windy runs far smoother in Safari than in Chrome. (Mac OS).

RE: Addition of Fronts
@Tomber42
Another site has this. It is potentially in digital form (after someone has drawn it) and can thus be obtained. Perhaps some data trading is in order? -
RE: Better weather overview
In science, time is generally represented as left to right so the the display as is, is correct in that sense. This carries to things like video progression as well. My 2 cents.

Where do I find my account status?
Can't find account period end info.
Can't find renewal price.
Can't find if it is automatic.Thanks.

RE: Canadian Wx Radar range strobes
@tjab48313
The strobes are a radar artifact. Canada recently upgraded all of its radars, and these artifacts came along with them. Horrendous. (I suspect the range of the new radars isn't as good as the old ones either).
See my other reply to Korina as well regarding products that have the strobes and not. -
RE: Canadian Wx Radar range strobes
@korina
What is strange is that the "public" facing weather page (the second image above) is from the service that owns the radars. So they seem to be cleaning up the strobes before putting out their map.
I don't know how you get the radar data from them, but perhaps contact the Minister of the Environment to ask if the "cleaned up" product is available? -
RE: Bug? Measuring distance in the Radar view results in "Map is not in sync ...ECMWF ..."
@korina
I'm not planning a route. Simply making a measurement of distance. Nothing more. -

RE: Bug? Measuring distance in the Radar view results in "Map is not in sync ...ECMWF ..."
@korina
When I right click, I get "distance and planning" - doesn't mean I'm planning: I'm measuring. (And the map is indeed in the ECMWF model).So, please consider refining this, and/or having a separate measurement widget that is independent of planning routes.
For bonus points, it would be nice to have:
-
Raw radar - no interpolation.
-
Tracking to estimate the time of arrival of precipitation at a point on the map.
Thanks!

Canadian Wx Radar range strobes
In Windy, the Canadian Wx Radar image shows range strobes (spokes) - often even when there is little precip around.
The source for these radar images, at the same time, does NOT show the range strobes. (2nd image attached).Can they be suppressed?
Note that, concurrent to the above, the avitation radar product from NAVCANADA also shows the range strobes.

Bug? Measuring distance in the Radar view results in "Map is not in sync ...ECMWF ..."
So, while I am in (start in) ECMWF model, then go to the radar view I get a popup:
This is annoying, can still measure distance - so workable.(I measure the rate of advance of storms to see when the rain will start and end).

RE: Question about snow accumulation forecast
Thks, but the question is "ending at that time" ie: in the image above is the 9 cm the accumulation between 07:00 and 10:00. Thx

RE: Sudbury, ONtario radar image not working for past and real time images
Strange that Sudbury isn't on there.
In the meantime, just use Environment Canada's site. The new presentation has a lot of sucky elements (ie: not north aligned except in the middle longitude of Canada. Make's St-John's esp whacky looking...). But does have transparency settings for the radar image. Also shows US radar down as far as Puerto Rico, but the map is missing south of Ohio latitudes.
(The iPhone app Env. Canada is correctly north up).
https://weather.gc.ca/map_e.html?layers=radar&province=QC&zoom=6¢er=46.17544546%2C-78.92156968As to Windy, I've requested they add an option to present the weather radar 'raw' (as Environment Canada do), but that's been ignored. The current algorithm often drops the last image or has strange artifacts.
