Rain Radar overlay not working

[marpdiaz]

No data display on map for Rain Radar. RRA indicator does not start the usual counting. RainViewer app works fine outside FiF.

It is possibly a change in RainViewer API as RV is phasing-out several API resources by jan/fev 2026.

The following alternative sources may deserve a closer look for global coverage APIs: OpenWeatherMap, Rainbow Weather, Tomorrow.io.

Thank you for the weather link update. I only get the weather overlay now at 40NM or above....is this the new normal now? Thanks Peter G

Hi flyyyer,

I got the radar rain overlay down to 15 NM arc zoom. Have no overlay display for smaller scales.
I have "rainbow low res" LUT selected in application settings, customize screen.

Thank you marpdiaz.
Although I'm a early and proficient user I'm still stuck on this.
I go to application settings/customise screen then all I get is the screen to the radar application. I'm not sure how to find what you are saying to do.... Thanks for your help.

Hi Peter,

I am not sure that changing the Color scheme (LUT) will make a difference for all android versions and/or hardware.

In my case (android 11 and 16) it was somewhat helpful - got the overlay down to 25 and 15 NM arc zooming. Still may be tricky because no weather is displayed in higher zoom levels (10, 6, 4 ...).

The Color scheme setting is below the toggle "Show rainfall radar" and just above the "Opacity" ruler setting.
