Ventusky

Data source for Finland

Your feedback and suggestions

Hello,

Love the Ventusky app and it has been great around the globe. However in Finland I’ve noticed a mismatch in accuracy with reality so I wanted to propose adding an extra data source for this region from the national weather service.

The mismatch comes down to the current Radars missing swaths of rain and therefore getting the predictions slightly wrong.

Attached an image from the Finnish radar and below a link when comparing the Ventussky radars. You can see those radars are all missing the rain near Helsinki.

And it seems free of charge… maybe?

If
You could add this data set as a local radar then that would be awesome!

We are using radar data from the Finnish Meteorological Institute. I don’t observe any missing data on the radar; the rain band near Helsinki is present.

Radar - 8:00
