I'm not a fan of the circular icons. I cannot see what they are at a glance. The Icons are meaningless to me. I now have to hover a mouse over them just to get a text popup that tells me what they are. This is not a utilization addition, it's a functional down-grade that makes things slower and more awkward. I'm not going to grow to like this. It just sucks to use it like this. Text back please.

Thanks, an example of what's occurring tonight.

Also: Currently, I have low-level NE onshore showers (that are developing into rain-bands), plus a monsoonal flow around a Low, bringing mid-level showers down from the NNW, over the top of them.

They cross each other at about 90 degrees, and at a similar movement speed.

So the prediction algorithm just spits the difference between them, and predicts they'll all move SSW!

No, none of these showers move SSW! They of course continue on their original headings. So this prediction is quite useless to me, it just averages the NET movement vector, rather than predicting movement and speeds of individual features, based on past movement and speed.

Plus it plays that 'prediction' first, instead of the logged data animation, which is actually predicatively very useful.

It's not a good feature.

@Suty

Am I mistaken, or is the prediction algorithm working better in the past few hours?

It seems to be doing a much better job of predicting individual rain feature vectors.

Before it was sending all the features in the same direction, but in this animation sequence I just made it is projecting all the rain features moving in different directions, consistent with their prior logged movement and speed vector.

If so, that's working properly (or at least it's a lot better).

@Suty

I don't mind it staying in the radar animation if it works properly, and does not mess up the end of the animation.

The prediction function appears to be working much better today, compared to how it has been working prior.

Others can test to confirm.

Note that the flickering signal at the bottom of this animation is the Longreach radar operating intermittently.
