Just added this (windy.com) to my HADashboard. Looks awesome.
tried windy.com and rainview.com. Set the map up just so then click to get the embed iframe. Then paste that to a file and extract the url only. Then use the webpage card and paste the url. Both look fine and are interactive. windy.com has many more options than just radar.
Here is my current selection of âradarâ views.
I put air quality on this page since it looks like it belongs.

I was unaware of the RainViewer.com website and actually like it. It actually merges the two Windy.com embeds that I use and shows all in one.

can you update to current from the past
Current to future (about a week)
I mean when you put the link in it goes from 7 am to 9 then I would have to put a new link in right?
No, the page automatically updates. Link stays the same. The only thing you need to change in the link is your desired location and your desired zoom level.
Can you explain a bit more how you got the URL? I tried the share URL but it doesnât display in HA. Does it look like this?
https://www.windy.com/-Weather-radar-radar?radar,XX.xxx,-x.xxx,xx
You have to use the embed.windy.com link to embed into iframe. Look 6 posts up from here. On the windy website they have a embed widget that helps sort all this out.

Thanks, couldnât find the embed link but got it now!
Hey this was great. IU used it as the basis for an animation of the national Australian synoptic chart, the MSLP. I also wanted a longer delay on the last (latest) image so I used some nastly head/tail stuff to do that. Thereâs probably a cleaner way to do this but it works.
These are only updated three times a day so probably donât smash the FTP server too often when scheduling it.
#!/bin/bash
#Config Variables
ID="IDY00030"
iqty=5
img_out="/var/www/html/"
#Change to the images directory
cd $img_out
#get the most recent images quietly
curl --silent --list-only ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/ |grep -e 'IDY00030.*\.png' |tail -n 6 |xargs -i wget -q 'ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/{}'
#Processes the images
convert -delay 75 -loop 0 `ls $ID.*.png | head -n 5` -delay 1000 `ls $ID.*.png | tail -n 1` -interpolative-resize 80% mslrp_$ID.gif
#Clean up temp files
rm $ID*
That was a few years back when I was playing around with the script. There may be some better images now but I am glad you found it useful.
is there a way to add https://www.rainviewer.com/ map to Home Assistant. It would be extremely useful or any similar good radar map with possibility for alert.
Yes, you can add rainviewer. Look a couple posts up and see that I have it there. When I get back home (if I remember) I can post the embed.
thanks now i figured it out
Is there an option to get an app notification before rain starts at a specific location through Windy.com or RainViewer?
