Weather radar. Live on screen.
Display animated weather radar maps on your digital signage showing real-time precipitation, storm cells, and weather patterns. Give your audience a visual understanding of incoming weather at a glance.
Live radar maps that show weather in motion.
The Hangar.Media Weather Radar integration displays animated radar maps centered on your location. Watch precipitation move across your region in real time with color-coded intensity overlays. Zoom levels range from local neighborhoods to multi-state regions, and the animation loop shows past movement to help predict incoming conditions.
What you can do with Live on screen.
Three capabilities that make this integration essential for your digital signage network.
Watch weather move across your region in real time
The radar map displays an animated loop of precipitation data over the past 1 to 6 hours, showing how weather is moving and what is approaching your location. Viewers can see storms approaching or clearing out at a glance.
See the rain coming before you feel it. Animated radar tells the story of weather in motion.

Common questions. Straight answers.
How often does the radar data update?
Radar data frames are refreshed every 10 minutes, matching the update cycle of major meteorological radar networks. The animation loop updates automatically with each new frame.
Can I zoom into my specific neighborhood?
Yes. The local zoom level shows a 25-mile radius around your chosen location, providing neighborhood-level detail for precipitation tracking.
Does it show snow and ice, or just rain?
The radar displays all precipitation types with color coding to distinguish rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Precipitation intensity is shown through color gradients.
Can I display radar alongside the weather forecast?
Yes. The radar widget can run in a zone of your screen layout alongside the weather forecast widget, news, or any other content. Combine them for a comprehensive weather display.
