Weather overlay
I would love to have a real time weather overlay on the WAZE maps. This would be a GREAT feature to add to aid in knowing more about driving conditions. Please vote and let's see what we can do to make it happen.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Seria uma enorme ajuda que se indicasse à comunidade, através de novos icones de perigo na App:
- Vento forte,
- Chuva forte,
- Piso alagado (estrada, rua). Não inundação. Para prevenção de aquaplaning.It would be a huge help to indicate to the community, through new danger icons in the App:
- Strong wind,
- Heavy rain,
- Floor flooded (road, street). Not a flood.
For aquaplaning prevention. -

YES!
Want/need this, especially in the mountains or any states where winter weather affects route choices.

Yes, i travel back and forth between states and would love to see the routes weather forecast for multiple days in advance so i can choose when to go.

In certain areas in the country there are extremely slow moving vehicles including horses, buggies and tractors on winding and hilly two lane roads which are used by local families and often driven and navigated by children. There currently is no way to alert other drivers about these hazards.

I often switch back and forth between Waze and my favorite weather radar app. Having the radar overlay on the driving map as an option would be an awesome feature.

Yes please. Aviation GPS units do this and it greatly improves situational awareness.
An added bonus would be tje ability to route around severe weather.

Please consider adding HEAVY RAIN under Hazards/ Weather on the app. Most wazers use FOG/ FLOOD but that doesn't tell the story of torrential rain showers, pop-up storms and what might possibly be ahead on a route. Here in West Georgia we get really nasty storms (the rest of the US too) and many accidents can occur if unprepared. The warning can help save lives by warning the driver to slow, even pull over and stop to wait it out. Thanks for the consideration!

Recommend including additional road condition reporting options like: icy, patchy ice, snow-covered, slush, standing water.

Suggest adding to the Weather Hazard options items like: light, moderate, or heavy snow falling, and light, moderate, or heavy rain falling.

I am a government contractor working in the area of aviation weather research. there would be great benefit in allowing Waze users to provide real-time road condition and weather reports with the push of a button (similar to reporting police presence, construction, or disable vehicles). this type of data would be invaluable to identify local weather conditions (ice, rain, snow, fog, tstorms, etc), have it accessible in "the cloud", and eventually allow weather forecasters to access that data for updated and enhanced weather forecasts. Simply adding a push button for specific weather / road conditions in the road application would be helpful and a great start

Yes!! I hate having to check cities along my location to estimate what the weather would be along the whole drive. Would love to see this implemented.

We came across a very,very strong crosswind while driving south on Interstate 15 to Los Angeles, but we couldn’t warn other drives since there is no option to select “Crosswind” or “Strong Wind Gusts” on the Hazard selection.

הוספת סטטוס חניה ברחוב היעד: ע״פ ספירת האנשים שסיימו את נסיעתם באותו רחוב. (ניתן למדידה ע״פ סטטיסטיקה של כמה אנשים חונים בסוף נסיעתם או ממשיכים את הנסיעה מהיעד שלהם-עצירה/הורדת נוסע למשל. או ע״פ הוספת פיצ׳קר של שאלת המשתמש האם הוא חנה בחניון/חניה בכחול לבן/חניה באפור, באותו רחוב). כך יוכל וויז לדווח בזמן אמת על פניות החניה ברחוב היעד, ומשתמשי וויז יוכלו לתכנן נסיעה ע״פ חניה פנויה.

Add WIND as one of the weather cautions you can post. Dust storms are very real in AZ and desert areas!

Had this idea a while ago. Would love to see a radar overlay. Could also pop up on long haul drives automatically zooming out to show you your about to drive into a storm... that would be amazing.

This would be such a useful improvement in any climate but very useful in areas where snow, ice, flooding,and poor drainage, etc. are likely to occur.

Sun glare definitely should be a hazard. I’ve had many of close calls that could have been prevented had I known it was gonna be that bad ahead of time!
