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.

Under weather to report add "sun glare".

Em Belo Horizonte,MG, Brasil, tem muitos morros aclive. Seria interessante para motoristas com carro 1.0 ter a opção de marcar para evitar morros nível Hard. Os usuários poderiam categorizar os morros como leve, intermediário, pesado e super pesado Assim nas configurações o usuário final poderia selecionar se quer trajeto apenas com morro no maximo leve, intermediário, pesado ou qualquer um.
Isso ajuda muito quem tem carro 1.0, pois tem morros pesados que não dá pra subir. -

this is feature creep. you want Waze to be excellent at what it was meant for: to get you the best route between home and work on your regular commute.
If you start turning this in to an all-in-one app, then sure it can do everything, but it won't do anything well. how many people do you know who are sawing logs and opening wine on a regular basis with a swiss army knife? i didn't think so. sommeliers are using dedicated corkscrews. woodsmen are using chain saws. use the right tool for the task.
your smartphone is the swiss army knife. the apps are the blades. choose the best blades, but don't expect the saw blade to effectively open a wine bottle.

Hi! Love the app, I use it almost every day.
One thing that would be great is tying in weather conditions and alerts. For example, it would be great to have details about a winter storm warning in an area you’re driving in, and be able to see timing, amounts of snow, etc. From environment Canada or the National Weather Service.
Just a thought, keep up the great work!

There are well-known flooding points, with strong water currents, which are life-threatening for drivers in the event of sudden storms.
These points can be mapped by the editors, even based on official local information.
However, Waze has no way of knowing if it is raining heavily there.
Therefore, I suggest a feature called "Heavy Rain Mode", to be activated by the user.
From then on, Waze will prefer itineraries that avoid possible registered flooding points.

Indeed, i had this issue today. Low sun, visibility was zero almost. I wanted to select it in waze app and there was no option for this, hmm. So i asked this question to :)

Angelino Verhaeghe commented
The option to select sun by Danger/Weather in the app. When the sun is low and visibility is poor on the road. As you can now with fog, hail, ice etc...

Oscar commented
So if their are strong winds you are able to report it

Consider weather-related delays when suggesting long routes. I was going from Sarasota FL to Columbus OH and was given a supposedly 25-min faster route via I-10/I-95/I-26/I-77/US-33 instead of I-75/I-71. A winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on the suggested route added at least 4 hours to a normally 16-hr trip.

Overlying weather to the current driving conditions and a heads up about heavy rain / hazardous weather conditions would be helpful. I may consider stopping sooner or changing routes.

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.

Jan commented
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.

ajm1380 commented
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!
