No radar in the present

Yeah, our met service sucks.

Makes perfect sense! Thanks!

Next question is losing radar when I zoom.

I zoom all the way out I get this nifty habitation-belt image of North America with areas with no radar coverage greyed out and the edge scalloped as various radars have circular coverage. Radar data displays. But if I zoom in, it stops displaying.

Best way I can think to describe the zoom is if I can see the city name label for Toronto, I can’t see radar data. If I zoom out enough that I can’t see the city label anymore, the radar data displays. So it’s there, but it doesn’t want to display at the closer scales.

Radar just takes longer to be shown. Just zoom to the desired zoom level and be patient! :sunglasses:

(Isn’t this the same thing you are talking about?)

Part of it sounds like in the RainViewer App when you select coverage it Grey’s out areas

not saying this is the issue just the way I’m understanding and I agree @Ohan could be how Radar loads

:joy::joy::joy::joy: Just noticed I have the bluelight filter on in the screen shots :rofl::grin: Sorry

At the too-big-for-city-names scale, rain loads nigh-instantly. Well under 1 second.

As soon as I zoom in far enough to get the city names, no rain, including “minutes later”.

I don’t actually know these are connected; as a behaviour it’s consistent.

@Oak on android 7 I get rain full zoom out and full zoom in on both Arome and Arpege with RainViewer and Flowx Rain selected

@Oak, are you talking about radar or rain data in other data sets.

One thing to be aware of is that as you zoom in, it’ll download higher resolution tiles and if you haven’t zoomed in previously, it’ll download the radar for the whole day, which can take a while.

Can you post a screenshot please?

@duane I was also thinking that zoomed out will show rain however zoomed way in might not show cause there maybe no rain. and like it’s mentioned before Radar can show rain and it doesn’t make it to the ground

I’m on Android 9; 9.0.0.283

I suspect there may be a difference somewhere.

Looks to me like I should see something – there’s some kind of radar data – at the closer zoom. Don’t know how long it would take to get a new set of “close” tiles; I’m doing this at home with a reasonably fast wifi connection.

Thanks!

I would be surprised. The process to download, load and render radar is exactly the same at high or low zoom, the only difference is the url used to download data and the size of the tiles. It’s very unrelated to the Android OS version.

Thanks. I’m now able to replicate your same setup but was able to get it going.

Are you able to turn on debug mode in settings, reopen the app, zoom in and out, then send me the log via Feedback in the side menu?

Cheers, Duane

Really odd, it looks like it’s downloading the data fine, for some reason it’s not showing.
