Weather radar layer

Visualize weather radar layer from MapTiler Weather Radar dataset. With just a simple cursor movement, you can instantly access the radar information for any desired point.

Using the animateByFactor(3600) function of the radar layer, we animate it in time (next 4 days). Each second of animation corresponds to one hour.
