Description
How to make a time series animation with Source and Layer using the endpoint 'myendoint.com/weather/maps/${type}/${date}/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}' where the date is dynamic to take 6 hours ahead of the current time, saving the previous images in cache so as to avoid unnecessary requests and the animation runs cleanly.
