try to add this to your custom.css
.MMM-RAIN-MAP .leaflet-container {
  background: #000;
}

That worked! Thank you!

this is the current rain situation and I don’t understand the differences, first picture your module, second one https://www.wetteronline.de/regenradar .

And the second one is reality …

Jalibu

@karsten13 Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that. I am only responsible for the display layer, not for the weather data :-)
The radar layers come from the Rainviewer API, which I have actually had quite good experiences with in the past.
Is it the usual case on your mirror that the displayed radar images do not match the reality?

What I can see is that RegenRadar.de and RainViewer have different scales. With RainViewer it needs a much higher degree of cloudiness to be displayed on the map.

I’m aware of this …

saw such differences this week the first time

will oberve this but the differences are heavy and AFAIS not only explainable with the different scales. Meanwhile I was already asking myself if the rain layer is showing a total different location …

@karsten13 let me know your findings

A few days ago, Openstreepmap obviously made some changes with their tile servers. They seem to block requests now, when the requests come from Electron applications. This is the case in most MagicMirror installations. As a consequence, MMM-RAIN-MAP does not show map tiles anymore.
I suspect, that also other modules are effected.
One possible fix is using another tile server for MMM-RAIN-MAP. One that still works at the moment, is the German fork “https://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/${z}/${x}/${y}.png”.
I will adjust the module soon, to use this tile server as a default.
You can also change the tile server by setting this property in the module config:

{
  mapUrl: "https://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/${z}/${x}/${y}.png"
}

Woohoo!!
Thank you for posting this change. I was going nuts trying to figure out why my radar map became a white background.

Bummer the .org site is blocking connections.

I’m curious, is there a way to make the radar images more transparent? Here in Ohio we get a lot of deep greens and blues so they hide the map entirely.

Jalibu

the german tileserver fork is default now

@Jalibu I am getting a message that MMM-RAIN-MAP is 2 commits behind but I can’t see to update it. I have run NPM Update from inside the directory to no result. Is there a different process?

Thanks

sdetweil

@pminich did u do the git pull in the module directory to get the latest code?

pminich

@sdetweil All set, thanks. Still learning my way around npm, git, etc…

Seems like we’re in the same Boat! Weirdly enough, it hasn’t rained today. I’ll have an eye on it once it starts again!

Hello,

Is it possible to add a layer for tropical storm/hurricane tracks similar to how NHC does with their ‘interactive map’?

How do I go about getting that for the usa in particular kansas.?

Jalibu

@pminich the same way. The German fork contains world wide map data.

@Jalibu
Ok it finally found my location.
The Lon and Lat where not registering in the module for some reason now they are… So all is good again…

system is case sensitive, and " (quotes) around numbers become strings, which cause problems all over the place

Does “substitudeModules” work in server only mode? “displayOnlyOnRain” works just fine but when the rain map pops up it appears under the module it’s supposed to hide.

hogedir

I have an issue, I want to setup rain map to france, but I have that : NO MAP at all (with openmap) can you help me please? thanks.

Jalibu

@hogedir can you please create an issue on github for that? Without further information (config, version) it is hard to find the reason 😉
