SRF Meteo’s weather radar gets a clearer, more accessible color upgrade
SRF Meteo has updated its weather radar with a new color scheme to improve accessibility. The changes aim to help users with visual impairments distinguish between different types of precipitation more easily. The radar now shows rain, thunderstorms, sleet, and snow in real-time and in forecasts. Rain remains in four blue shades to indicate varying intensities. Thunderstorms appear in orange or red, while sleet is marked in grey. Snow, previously hard to see against the bright Swiss map, is now displayed in purple for better contrast. This adjustment makes light snowfall clearer, especially for those with impaired vision. The radar also provides historical data from the past 12 hours and projections for the next 60 hours. No specific individual or team has been named as responsible for the update. The updated color scheme ensures that all users can more easily identify precipitation types. The changes focus on clarity, particularly for those with visual challenges. The radar continues to offer both real-time and forecasted weather information.
