To use the stack, simply install it into RapidWeaver in the normal way. Open your Stacks Library and search for 'Radar'. Drag and drop a copy of the stack into your webpage. Within the stacks side panel, you have various settings to customise the behaviour and style of your weather radar map. All settings have information tooltips on mouseover.Please note: a caching bug in RapidWeaver Preview mode may result in the radar visuals not updating immediately when you make changes to either the Radar Graphics or Map Type.
