      @opevans In the FAQ you can read that Rain layer is the forecast as described: Rain, thunder: Rain/snow accumulation in the last 3 hours, combined with lightning density forecast. The ECMWF model is forecasting precipitation rate of different type of precipitation in mm/h but this parameter is not displayed in Windy.

      @opevans your terminology and weather geekiness is top notch friend. If these data are available then I'm all for Windy including it - that's for the devs to decide.... and I'm just a dude who has thoughts about weather haha. In my brain, the term radar is synonymous with real-time/near real-time data - not forecasted. Maybe I'm just stuck on the term "simulated radar"....I feel attaching the word radar to something that isn't actually "Radar" can be a dangerous game. I trust radar because it's the actual organized data from beams of energy bouncing off stuff. I think they need to up their radar game and give us some more of the available data. Bottom line: They could enhance their existing Rain, thunder layer with these data. This is a great thing you've brought up and I hope someone more important than me reads it.

      @opevans This would be possible with the ECMWF using this parameter: https://codes.ecmwf.int/grib/param-db/?id=172228
