Radar map with Weather forecast

[manojsv16]

Hello All,

I have a requirement to include map which show the weather forecast. I would like to know whether there is a layer in ArcGIS or any other maps that we can add in Power BI.

For example, I would like to see moving weather forecast for Texas state currently. Drilling down to cities in Texas were not mandatory but optional. Even, if can show the weather for region also fine.

I have found the below thread in Power BI, they were talking it is possible to a layer in ArcGIS to show weather. But, I would like to know how can we achieve this.

Hi @manojsv16,

Actually, I only found a rest api about weather map, maybe you can try to use it to create a reference layout:
