Radar Imagery Feed

Whenever WF integrates the radar image into the app, I think it should be in between the current conditions and the forecast information. For the live display of the page, have it as a card option like you do for battery information and the forecast.

Hello how are you? May I ask if you heard about adding radar to the tempest app and if so do you think that will come about as soon as this summer or would it be later then that if you know at this point? I would love to see that feature, I’m always checking radar for the United States and putting it in motion to see just where the precipitation is and where it’s moving, but I have to always go out of the tempest app to go to the radar each time I’m checking my location. Don’t mean to put you on the spot just very curious for the time frame. Bob

like to know also . need radar … keep having to goto another app

That’s in the plans. @corrineb can give you more details.

Radar is on the roadmap. I don’t have an eta on when it will be released, but I can tell you it is in active discussion.

I may have missed it, but it would be great to add a link to weather radar in the page showing the current data, hourly forecast, 10 day forecast. This would be really convenient. Thanks

I don’t suppose we will see a radar map anytime soon if at all? Thanks

Where are you guys at with adding radar to the app…?

Suggestion; it needs to be a good one like MyRadar for example. We should have the option to see the locations of other weatherflow stations that share publicly on the radar map and be able to tap on them to access their real-time data.

PLEASE implement a great radar feed on the app!!! It is the main reason (and I do so often) I have to go off app and install other apps. I can’t trust my weather without looking at a good radar feed! Thanks

Would like to see the map of current radar in the tempest app instead of having to open wonder just to see it. Could eliminate that app this way.

Make sure to vote for this topic. The vote button is at the top of the topic.

Though I understand Tempest Weather Map to show all stations, but there should be options to hide sensors in the network and show a Color Weather Radar and other interactive parameters. Just my 2 cents worth.

Can’t agree more with those request!

How much per month are you willing to pay for a radar screen in the app? I’m pretty sure that WeatherFlow-Tempest would need to pay for a license to offer radar data, and that cost would need to be passed onto the end users.

In addition, there is no real “global” source of weather radar. AFAIK, WF still doesn’t even have a data source for raincheck corrections outside of the USA and a few neighboring border areas, never mind a radar source for Bulgaria or Sri Lanka. The folks in Europe hate us “dumb Americans” enough without giving them another reason by implementing another feature that doesn’t work for them…

Well for starters i would certainly like to see dark mode added to the IOS app and also in maps. If radar can’t be added how about current winds, or even live temperatures overlaid? The possibility off hovering over a station icon and clicking and getting a small pop up with current conditions for that particular station. Also the option to create a favorites list of particular stations you like like to see often.

Just some suggestions

Some of the things you mention will be possible, others not in some areas of the world. In Europe we have GDPR regulations that are extremely strict regarding privacy and not a single company will ever try to fool with it as it can cost loads of money. GAFAM’s recently got nice tickets from European regulators :slight_smile:

The app will evolve over time for sure and get new tweaks layout wise. For a radar map, as said Vreihen, this is paid data and most other apps offer this as a premium and not for free (or spam the app with ads, something has to pay the bill)

I have been using an Ambient Weather WS-2902 since December 2017 and the unit has pretty much seen its better days. I love the design and idea behind the Tempest, but there are some things that are missing that I had with the Ambient Weather station that I really liked. I would like to be given the choice to see something on the map other than the Tempest symbol/icon. Maybe have the option to show station temperatures or windspeed with direction arrow. I mean you have to click the Tempest icon to view the station details. I like the ability to pan the map and see station temperatures in my surrounding area or likewise with the windspeed and direction. Just my opinion, but these would really enhance the map and be an added bonus for weather enthusiasts.

There seems to be really good coverage of Tempest stations. It would be nice to add a layer to the online map of all the stations that determines a proper radius to show the temperature as a traditional temperature heat map. This would be a more ideal display rather than just tempest logo icons. Or at least the icons could show the temperature.

Would love to see a radar implementation with the app. So that the app is a one stop shop instead of having to use other apps to view radar
