somnomania Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 So I'm here on behalf of my dad, who isn't technologically inclined at ALL. One of his primary day to day complaints is that it's very difficult to find a radar when he wants one on TV, including on the Weather Channel. He ends up coming to me or my mom so we can look online. I have a potato-quality tablet that isn't good for much, and I'd like to set it up in his room and just have it show a radar at all times without having to be refreshed, but so far I haven't found a site that auto-refreshes with current info like that. Wunderground is the primary site I use, and while the weather station data has a radar, it's too small, and the Wundermap doesn't update itself. Anyone know of a site that might help me?

somnomania Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'd never actually looked into the radar on that site, so thank you. But it doesn't look like it auto-refreshes or keeps settings re: whether the radar is shown on the map or not. Maybe if I made a macro that would refresh every few minutes and then auto-click in the spot where the radar button is, it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambientweather Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 It does get expensive if you leave your browser open and it refreshes 24/7. Like with most services, we use a third party radar and mapping service. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GretchenB Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 You can try Climacell, Aeris and Weatherbit as well. They offer several weather related information for irrigation and other stuff. Maybe you can check if they have what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyees Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Here's a site I use often after doing a search back in 2019 for an alternative to National Weather Services site, and Accuweather's site:Ventusky wind rain and temperature It's based in Czechoslovakia. The only thing I don't like about it is they are using the "fuzzy" colorations of radar precipitation, kinda like looking at an impressionist's painting. Sadly, most weather apps I searched for back at that same time period to put on my smartphone had this type of "interactive" radar. I guess they're all buying their radar software from the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
