The National Weather Service provides an easy-to-understand tutorial that’ll get you up to speed on radar reading techniques if you’re unfamiliar with it all. However, if you’re serious about outdoor activities, in particular staying dry, it’s worth getting the tools and learning a bit about it. The colors you see on the map represent different strengths of reflected radio waves - different densities of rain.That’s basically it, although there can be various flies in the ointment.įor example, the particles causing the reflection could be birds, dust or insects, and not rain and the angle of the beam caused by the earth’s curvature, elevation and distance can get an interpretation squirrelly - which is why forecasters go to school before we start paying them with out tax dollars. This is called “reflectivity” and is the foundation of a radar image. Weather radars bounce radio signals off particles in the air. I took a look at one, PYK元 Radar, and liked what I saw. However, there is a solution, and that’s to purchase a dedicated NEXRAD Level 3 radar app. If you’re fishing, hiking, or working outdoors, though, you’ll find the NOAA-supplied desktop PC-designed graphics don’t render all that well on mobile devices, meaning you can get wet. If you’ve ever been frustrated by the inaccuracy of a television weather report, in particular the graphics, there’s always been a way out - and that’s to go to the National Weather Service website and look at the online radar images pulled straight off the actual radar. seems to be OK accuracy wise, mine is on an IPhone.PYK元 Radar, an app from PYK Consulting, is available for US$9.99 at Google Play. It will even give you a vibration 15 minutes, etc before a storm hits. Posted 19:54 (#3813928 - in reply to #3813883) Subject: RE: best weather radar appĭark Sky.
