Animated Weather Overlays
The weather RADAR overlay displays a continuous loop of radar information for the last hour. The feed is refreshed every five minutes. Note: this may lag actual rain by up to approximately 5-10 minutes.
Animated overlays such as this can be played in a loop, paused or stepped forwards/backwards, using the icons on the radar controls.
These controls appear at the bottom of the map page.
The timestamp for the snapshot is displayed in the bottom-left hand corner.
You can also select from:
- Infrared Satellite (cloud)
- Surface Pressure Forecast
- Freezing Level Forecast
- Cloud Ceilings Forecast
- Visibility Forecast
- Future Rain
Future Rain is a Premium feature. It shows where current weather models predict rain to be between 4 and 90 minutes into the future.
A note for our NZ customers: unfortunately Met Services do not currently provide access to weather-radar type overlay data, so this feature and “future rain” are unavailable for New Zealand.
