New in the app: Upgraded WeatherRadar

In recent days our WeatherRadar resolution has been upgraded, here's what's new.

There is now a finer gradation in our WeatherRadar and RainfallRadar! Previously we displayed six different levels to show the intensity of precipitation, graduating from light blue to purple.

Now, there are nine levels, which doesn't just mean more colour, but more detail! This is especially important and interesting for highlighting heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

Both intensity and type determine the colour. Rain is shown in blue, but when heavy rainfall is forecast or occurring, the colour darkens to a purple hue.

Snow is light to dark pink, depending on the snowfall rate, while ice pellets and freezing rain is a reddish-orange colour.

The TemperatureRadar and WindRadar have also been upgraded with new geo-information, as you may have already noticed. The orography of hills, mountains and valleys are now displayed in these two layers.

This new display will be very helpful if you like to visit mountainous regions such as the Alps, also complimented by our new and improved Mountain & Ski feature.

Take a look inside our app now to check it out, and let us know what you think!
