These areas are not covered by other companies.

Q: What are the various colors on the radar in your weather panel? 

A: The different colors indicate storm intensities. There is a helpful key on the top of the radar, that has different colored boxes and a description of each. Brighter colors usually mean stronger storms. 

Q: What does the "Latest Weather" button do? 

A: The button opens a panel which provides detailed current weather conditions. This includes the current temperature, humidity, real feel, wind speeds and more. It also displays a live radar to see storms nearby. In addition, a button is available to view the latest forecast. 

Q: How often do you issue weather outlooks?

A: Outlooks are issued in the afternoon most days of the week. You can view them and their issuance times on our outlook page.

Q: How will I find out about updates to the forecast?

A: MinyanCast constantly monitors the ongoing weather conditions outside and trends in forecasts. Updates are provided on our weather updates page, at https://www.minyancast.com/p/weather-updates.html.

Joining our daily delivery program (free) or downloading our mobile app (also free) is a great way to get notified about important updates.

Q: How does your hourly forecast work?

A: Our hourly forecast uses high-tech automated software to calculate key weather details for the next 48 hours. Data is displayed in a simple and easy to use chart. The exact numbers may vary slightly from the text-based forecasts due to an algorithm-based forecasting model that creates the chart.
