  You might want to think about extending the scale to 400mm/hr. 

 

Agreed. we've seen some showers around manchester and reading possibly over 250mm/hr. Doesn't happen often but has done so maybe should be large scale incase for that.

The skip frame left and right buttons and most recent frame button keep changing from the left hand side of the screen one day to the right hand side other days. (Today its on the right) Is this a known issue?

[Paul]

We've just been split-testing a couple of possible layout options. We've settled on the right hand side for now though.

I have sent a query under the help, support and feedback thread regarding the new v8 radar - thanks

the only small small change which needs to be fixed is the location toggle button is tiny on IOS . needs to be a little larger.

Having some difficulties on Windows 10 laptop using Firefox - if I zoom out on the map in order to view the entire country, it zooms back onto my area after a couple of seonds, and the radar coverage area map sits centrally rather than being in a lower corner, which makes it obtrusive.

It sounds like you have the geo-tracker switched on - click the button here to switch it off

Doesn't make any difference in Firefox, but in Chrome it's OK.  Cheers.

Interesting, thanks. Sounds like a bug, which we'll take a look into tomorrow.

Can you post a screenshot of the button in question please? I'm not too sure which one you're meaning.

This should hopefully be working properly in Firefox now

You know the UKV overlays on the V8. like lets say i want the wind overlay, would that be updated every hour, so if i check the radar at 12:30 would that chart overlay be for 1pm or 12pm?  

[Paul]

It would be the current hour - so the 12pm chart overlay would be showing. 

[Eastern Scotland WX]

how do i delete a virtual weather station location, like how do i delete a location ( not hiding the location) ? 

[Paul]

If you select it in the location menu on the v8 radar, an x will appear on the left, clicking that will delete it. 

[Eastern Scotland WX]

are you able to screenshot on where you delete the location because i am unsure on where you are talking about? 

[Eastern Scotland WX]

Will the smoothing feature be available for weather type? 

[Paul]

Yes, we're planning to add that. 

In terms of removing a postcode from your list, the x is here:

[Eastern Scotland WX]

yes thank you very much for showing me how to remove a postcode.

The V8 radar can now be installed as an app on desktop, tablet and mobile devices. Select 'add to homepage' when you're on the page and it'll install automatically. (There's more info on the page about this).

[matt111]

Looks good. Much quicker to access it from there.

I like that a lot!

I don't suppose there's a possibility to be able to remember full screen mode? It looks awesome on my Galaxy S10, but it would be nice to be able to have it full screen as soon as I launch it.

Just noticed these two random markers showing on the map here

This should be fixed now if you either refresh the page (in browser), or close the app (eg swipe up over the app preview window to fully close it), then once you open it again you'll be prompted to load a new version.
