A bug in the matrix or just the radar? This is no normal cloud-shape, is it?
A lot of weather radars have localized noise, I’ve noticed
The screenshot below has only one radar selected. Maybe the app you are using is displaying data from more than one radar?
Oooh, excellent point! The german weather service (DWD, which OP is using) has 17 operational weather radar… looks like an artefact to me!
EDIT: it’s not an artefact, but insects!
Wait, I’m wrong yet again!!! “A bug in the matrix” in the description should have clued me in…
The DWD network is surely more reliable than this, and it’s nice high pressure, so it’s rain-free and plenty of updrafts, so it’s perfect conditions for insects!! They cause enormous signals, no idea why I didn’t think of it first.
(Seen recently in the news in the UK here )
Could be, the app uses RainViewer as source, their sources for Germany are:
