Hi Paul, My first impressions: I've just subscribed to the rain radar service today and on first impressions am very impressed. If I can be so bold I have used the BBC and met office equivalents in the past. It seems to me that the older service or original offering by netweather gave radar images that were anemic given the colours used especially when trying to see as today areas of light patchy ppn as over the midlands. It is hardly seen or distinguisheable with background colour of land, with the land and ppn nearly the same colours. The new V4 service gives the option to change the colour of the radar imagery to that used by both the BBC and the met office and which I have to say is perfect. This V4 setting is called TRADITIONAL. However the more contrasty NW NEW setting (all these under the scale option) seems to give the best clarity. I would have liked though the radar image colours of traditional (shades of blue) could be overlayed onto the NW NEW background, not having various shades of yellow and orange for the rainfall. If I can swear...yes say the met office, have the right colour combination with the background a brown and the imagery the same as your TRADIONAL, shades of blue, which is perfect for rainfall. Can the background of your NW NEW be done a colour different from the blue sea and green land so that blue rainfall imagery can be seen clearly on top of it, something like a pastel brown or green for land and sea or visa versa so that the blue radar imagery as in your TRADITONAL setting can be put upon it? Or an option at least? Reading other posts I also question the reliability of the shown light ppn like for example in the Midlands area so far today. It’s Just an observation, hope you don’t mind. I’ve been out walking this a.m here in Coventry and although cloudy there wasn’t any spots of rain at all. But maybe as others have said it may well have been at higher altitudes, but we’re not so interested in that at ground level. . In reality and hindsight, the mass of these these lower ppn rates shown on the radar are, at ground level, perhaps not of a reliable enough measurement to be included in the imagery. If I do a zoom into my local patch there is a rash of these pockets of light ppn, these are for sure false positives if you like. It’s been dry, cloudy all day so far here, but the radar would have me believing otherwise. Perhaps the threshold for imagery is a little too detailed and sensitive. Apart from these observations, I’m well pleased and think its a terric service and if things can be tweaked it can only be improved upon, just my two penneth............ Keiron
