Hi all,

I'm looking for some free rainfall radar images for the UK. I recently
went to the Met Office's branch in Birmingham for some work experience
- and saw their Rainfall Radar display. Theirs is very detailed - and
the only one I can find online so far is the BBCs tiny little one -
which could not be described as detailed at all! lol Are there are any
rainfall radar images available online? If so, where? and how often are
they updated?

Thanks,

Robin

Take a look at
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...animation.html but I
guess that'll not be as detailed as you're looking for ? I think you
can subscribe to a much higher resolution version but am not sure how..?

The Met Office one at: http://www.metoffice.com/weather/europe/uk/radar/
is far better than the BBC one. It's updated every half hour.

Thanks,

The highest resolution you will find on the web is 5km. Hourly, compressed
images are free at www.metoffice.com but uncompressed, more frequent
images are available on a pay per view basis.
What you'd have seen at MetO is the combined 1km/2km/5km radar image
(Radarnet IV IIRC) all superimposed onto one UK map. Good isn't it !
