Verification

Pitch us your idea!

Weather radars can be more helpful when forecasts are inaccurate.

Description

The National Weather Service can be used for the US. Maybe the location could be selected in the settings.

Can you add an illustration of what you mean?

I don't think this is something that needs to be on a watch.

It would be way too complicated. There needs to be consistent, and I mean consistently data polling

I guess a low-res bitmap could be transmitted over BLE, but I don't think the current space constraints make it possible to include this in base IT for now. Probably a thing for the time where we have apps loadable from flash.
