FAQ

Q: How often does Veður update its weather data?

A: Veður refreshes its data in real time, meaning that as soon as a monitoring station records a new observation, that information becomes visible in the app. This continuous stream ensures you’re looking at the latest conditions rather than waiting for scheduled updates once an hour or so.

Q: How do the interactive map overlays work?

A: When you open the map view, you’ll see a detailed layout of Iceland overlaid with color-coded layers that represent different weather parameters. You can pan and zoom to any region, then choose to display temperature, wind speed, cloud cover, precipitation, or other measures. The colors and intensity levels help you quickly grasp how conditions vary from one area to another.

Q: Can I choose which weather layers are visible?

A: Absolutely. Veður lets you toggle each data layer on or off in the settings, so if you only care about wind speed and direction, you can hide everything else. This customization keeps the screen uncluttered and allows you to focus on the parameters most relevant to your plans.
