Here's what I found, which suggests that the refresh rate is dynamic and depends on data availability and app activity:\n\n---\n\n### What I Found\n\n- The app is designed to pull public data from sources like NOAA, the National Weather Service (NWS), the Storm Prediction Center (SPC), and other official weather agencies. ([apps.apple.com](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/severe-weather-guardian/id6763809935?utm_source=openai))  \n- For many similar services, warning/watch maps update every 5 minutes when new data is available. For example, the NOAA\u2019s WWA (Watch/Warning/Advisory) map is updated every 5 minutes. ([mapservices.weather.noaa.gov](https://mapservices.weather.noaa.gov/eventdriven/rest/services/WWA/watch_warn_adv/FeatureServer?utm_source=openai))  \n- *Weather.gov*\u2019s hazard/watch/warning maps are likewise updated about every 5 minutes. ([weather.gov](https://www.weather.gov/help-map?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### What This Suggests\n\nGiven that *Severe WeatherGuardian* depends on these real-time sources for alerts, radar data, and warnings, it\u2019s reasonable to assume:\n\n- **Alerts and warnings updates**: Likely every ~5 minutes, or immediately when the source posts new data.\n- **Radar and other live storm data**: Could also refresh similarly, though possibly less frequently during periods of low activity.\n- **Forecast/historical data**: Probably refreshed less often (hourly or on a schedule set by NOAA/NWS/SPC).\n\n---\n\n### Caveats\n\n- Refresh rate might depend on your device\u2019s settings (location permissions, background refresh, etc.).\n- Widgets may refresh less often or follow different schedules due to platform limitations (iOS, etc.).\n- If you're using the free version vs the Plus/paid version, there might be differences in how \u201clive\u201d the data feels (more source data, more frequent updates, etc.).\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to find specific info for your device (iPhone, Android) or version of the app to see if there\u2019s more precise detail. Do you want me to dig into that?"
