Weather Radar for certain location

fwood04

Looked through the available modules and haven’t seen any radar ones. Would be interesting to have a local weather radar. I know Open Weather has a page dedicated to map layers (https://openweathermap.org/hugemaps#how) but I’m still pretty new to this so I’m sure someone could figure it out much quicker than I can.

Hello Fwood04,

I have also looked into this myself. The closest I got was using iFrame to display a radar map. My issue was trying to find a live radar map that was able to refresh the URL automatically. The below works fine for me but I still am not able to get it to refresh automatically.

	{
	module: 'iFrame',
		position: 'bottom_bar', // This can be any of the regions.
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		url: "https://maps.darksky.net/@radar,26.527,-80.077,9?embed=true&timeControl=false&fieldControl=false&defaultField=radar",
		width: "100%", // Optional. Default: 100%
		height: "480px", //Optional. Default: 100px
	}
	},

you can also use the radar loop from wunderground but I also have the same issue of not being able to get it to refresh automatically.

Maybe someone else has some ideas?
