Track heatwaves and cold blasts with this neat interactive tool

Whether you are new to Weather&Radar or have been using the app for a while, read this article to learn more about one of the app's most exciting features. Today, our meteorologists explore the TemperatureRadar.

As part of Weather&Radar's suite of weather maps, the TemperatureRadar uses state-of-the-art weather data and machine learning technology to provide accurate and reliable temperature information. The TemperatureRadar is a powerful tool that lets users track incoming cold blasts, growing heatwaves and sharp temperature swings for locations across the globe.

There are several ways to find the TemperatureRadar on the app on an Android device. The first option is to tap on the main menu icon at the top left of the screen and select "TemperatureRadar." Alternatively, users can find the TemperatureRadar by scrolling down on the app's home screen until they see the map—this also works for iOS devices.

Users can also open the TemperatureRadar through the WeatherRadar. To do so, scroll down on the home screen and tap on the WeatherRadar. Once the map opens, tap on the thermometer icon located at the top right (Android) or center-right (iOS) of the screen.

If you have friends or loved ones who would be interested in the TemperatureRadar, you can share it with them. Tap on the share icon at the top right (iOS) or top center (Android) and follow your phone's instructions.

Once you've accessed the map, it's time to explore! Not only does the TemperatureRadar tell users how it feels outside right now, but also what's going to happen in the next few hours and even days.

The temperature forecast goes out as far as four days into the future, making planning easy. To spot the next cold blast or heatwave, select the day of interest at the bottom and use the slider to change the hour. For high-resolution, 15-minute temperature variations, users can tap on "now" at the bottom.

Need an explanation of the colors? A map legend can be found by tapping the 'i' icon in the bottom right (Android) or top left (iOS) of the screen.

With the TemperatureRadar, you have access to the forecast for the entire world. So if you are feeling extra adventurous, zoom out and pan across the map to a nearby town, state, or even country in search of the most extreme weather.
