@idefix37 ah yeah my bad - it's not radar data, but precipitation data via "Rain, thunder" menu item. does the "Rain, thunder" summarize all types of precipitation under it including new snow, or is that totally separate?

As a set of app suggestion items:

1. Being able to view any layer that is validly built thru the selected forecast model (or otherwise available based on data) for long range forecast, out to (10 days) thru an animation would be great. I think everyone that uses these types of applications understand that the accuracy of the forecast model decreases with time into the future...

1b) As many layers as possible :), but precipitation (rain, snow etc.), WIND, of course, radar, satellite, temperature, pressure, waves, lightning, dew point, UV index, currents & tides, sea temps, weather warnings, lightning, swell size would be a great start.

2. being able to change the time increment for the forecast animation, say from very discrete at 5 minutes up to 6 or 8 hours per step would be PHENOMENAL. maybe this doesn't make sense beyond the 1st 5 days? Im no meterologist, so I defer to you all :)

3. To have Real weather History available would be great, and would draw a ton of users to your platform I'd bet... an archive going back as far as data is available should be the goal, but even a single year would be amazing

Here is a competitor, windy.app, that on their free live map shows a 10 day forecasted precipitation animation like windy.com used to (am I on crazy pills - i really thought windy.com had this)

one really nice thing those folks have done is to keep an archive of PAST weather, so you can go back in time, VERY COOL!

I then switch to the Radar and Satellite: Weather Radar layer, and the animation switches to Forecasting a much shorter timeframe loop (only 1 hour, or 6 hours, or 12 hours forecasted).

I seem to remember windy.com used to have the same long timeframe loops (10days) for this layer (and I think many others), the last time I visited the site (maybe a year ago?).

@lookingatwindy ok this might be long winded, but I'll make a few posts w/ images which hopefully makes it clear, so here goes:

the attached image "windy10daywindforecast.PNG" shows the 10 day wind forecast for a 'favorited' location in Mid-Atlantic, USA region.

all of the windy.com images are using the default model, ECMWF model.

@Ondřej-Šutera oh sorry been touching grass for a few days I'll try to capture what I am talking about today

@lookingatwindy anyone have any ideas or comments?

@lookingatwindy ok more information: on the website, my forecast animation bar is the full 5+ days (w/ ability to extend to 11 days), and SOMETIMES it is only 1/3/12 hours - is this somehow contextual, or is there a way to toggle back and forth?

I can't seem to find anything for the full long range forecast in the android app - what am I missing?

@idefix37 I can see it does on the webpage (not sure how I missed that before), but the android app is only giving me 12h 6h 1h looking at a live map page, and when I go to a favorited location, it only gives option for 1hr or 3hr

@idefix37 Yes I do see the play button, but it only shows the option for 1 or 3 hours. A year or so ago, I had seen a way to play the long range 7 or 10 day forecasts, with whatever layer we chose. how do I get that to work?
