Canadian Radar Outages Now Available in IW Pro

We have added a new feature in IW Pro that provides more transparency around radar coverage across Canada.

You can now see when and where Canadian weather radars are experiencing outages directly on the map.

When a radar is offline or undergoing maintenance, a red radar icon will appear at that location (see image below). Simply tap or click the icon to view more details about the outage.

After selecting the icon, you will see additional information about the outage, including details provided by Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Previously, it was not always clear whether an issue was with IW Pro or the radar station itself. This update helps remove that uncertainty by clearly showing when a radar outage is the cause.

Outage information is based on data from Environment and Climate Change Canada:

We are continuing to improve how radar data is displayed in the app, and this is another step toward making the experience clearer and more reliable.
