00:32scroll back with the scroll bar here on the bottom.
00:35You could scroll backwards to see what's happened over the last couple of hours, or scroll forward,
00:40and that allows you to see the next two hours and how the weather can evolve.

00:48fully interactive map, so you can actually just zoom back and pan around the country

01:03on Temperature, and you can look at temperatures across the country and your local area, and
01:07again, the temperatures will show up on the map as you pan and zoom, and you can see all
01:11the colors behind it as well, helping you get a sense of the different air masses that
01:16are around.
01:17Finally, tap on All Maps, and you're able to look at all of the different maps that
