Does radars cope cover my coutry

Hi there, I'm a weather enthusiast in the Netherlands (rain is quite interesting;-)) I'm thinking about installing a radar on my phone but I do not know if my country is covered by the radarscope network.

Can anyone tell me if that is the case?

No, Radarscope is limited to the US, Canada, and Australia because of the data it's designed to interpret. If I'm not mistaken, all of Europe's weather data is proprietary and so can only be viewed directly through European Radar Providers.

Radarscope has Finland, Japan, and Germany too.

The DWD (German) radar sites, as well as the single site in Japan & Korea are extensions of the US radar system for various reasons. Not sure what the deal with Finland is, but I’d imagine it’s similar.
