First of all, I'm s premium user, very happy with windy. But a few days ago radar data disappeared in my entire region. I supposed that it was a temporary problem, but now I'm not so sure.

Also I noticed that radars are working in others international apps, paid private apps from other developers, like :

Rain Alarm
mdiener@mdiener.it.

Meteored

AFAIK data access should be requested through this form: SMN. But Rain Alarm says that they are getting the info from INTA: INTA

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are in the middle of the storms seasons.

@Filip_K perhaps the form is blocked from outside of Argentina. Already sent a request myself.After posting the form I received a automated mail from atencionciudadana AT inta.gob.ar with an support ticket (number 4070). So fingers crossed.

Calling to the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional seems to be a dead end, I only reach a poorly designed automated call response service. So far I couldn't reach any human being behind it. I'm going to keep trying.

I'm also calling to INTA, but there is a long queue.

It should be a way. I hope that Michael Diener from rain Alarm answers and tells us his secret :)

Thanks for your dedication, Argentina is a messy country. I'm very happy with your interest.

@Filip_K today argentina data seems to be broken again.

@Suty Thanks for your response.

Probably the data that you are trying to access isn't free anymore and a fee is required. It sounds like so, because the website says that some data is available after paying a fee.

I hope that something can be worked up. They should answer through the webform. O perhaps the other developers can help.

I miss the radar in the Radar+ plus feature.

@Filip_K oh! well fingers crossed. I'm going to keep trying to contact someone in SMN or INTA again. Also i'm writing to a meteorological society...

Perhaps to achieve a more stable service.

My country is a eternal mess.

@Filip_K if yo look closely in the bottom right of SMN radar's page you will see the logo of INTA. Also in the app Rain Alarm you will see that the radars are credited to INTA.

All the radars, excluding the one located in Ezeiza Buenos Aires are directly operated by INTA. SMN receives the data from them. So they are the primary source of radars data.

INTA contact page is working for me. Care to try again? https://atencionciudadana.inta.gob.ar/

Rain Alarm, Radsahd, Meteored. Those 3 apps have current access to radar data. Perhaps you can talk with those developers or agree something. I'm writing a mail asking for help to them.

@Filip_K well so the solution come from outside our country and SMN.

Yesterday noticed some linear artifacts like echos forming rectangles. Later I noticed that those lines matched with zones with special alerts for severe weather. I think that the new source is picking lines from the short term alert system and interpreting those lines as radar echoes. Probably not fixable on your side because it's already in the data.

Don't get me wrong I more than happy. Just wanted to share my discovery because it could be helpful.

@EduardoSG @Filip_K

I also found a senior engineer of SiNaRaMe (Meteorological National Radar System). Literally is system engineer in the project of building, installing and connecting Argentina's meteorological radars.

Here is the LinkedIn profile:

@Filip_K it's down again :(, saying no data.

INTA page isn't down, so I guess that the problem is back.

@Filip_K oh! well fingers crossed. I'm going to keep trying to contact someone in SMN or INTA again. Also i'm writing to a meteorological society...

@Filip_K Hey its working today!!!! I'm so happy, what a surprise! Thank you thanks to everyone involved!

I'm curious, Someone finally answered "our cry for help" from my country services? A developer helped? We are accessing trough INTA directly?

Hope it lasts

Also wanted to share a piece of information, some radars of INTA connect to internet trough microwave or satelitall internet. Ironically, bad weather in the area of the radar, can cause outgages in the service when its needed. Knowing that could help to answer to people from my country.

@Andres-Mauricio-Cice weanted to update: So far, no luck. :(

@Filip_K Data is currently showing in Rain Alarm. Took a screen cap for you, if you look at the bottom of the image, it says Instituto De Tecnología Agropecuaria Nacional. (It's INTA)

@Filip_K definitively I'm going to try to call them tomorrow. Today is a bit late.

They also have an email address: smn AT smb.gob.ar
INTA main mail is: dri AT inta.gob.ar

Sorry about the at, something is blocking the mails as spam and I can't write the at. Please remove the spaces and replace at with the actusl one.

Thanks for your response, I'm going to try to reach them by phone.
