Default Radar images via mobile phone?

Just a thought - I know it's possible to get basic stuff like temps,
pressure, etc via a mobile phone, but how about some kind of basic
radar images for those with a colour or hi res mono display?

I can get the main UK Met O radar page on my Nokia 6230, either by GSM dial
up or gprs. The resolution is almost as good as on my PC, though I have to
use the nav keys to scroll across the image. Much will depend on the
browser installed on your phone.

XCWeather have a dedicated wap page but that doesn't include radar.

Thanks Mike, looks like I'll need to have a play. :-)

To add to that - seems my mobile is WAP only so I can't access
standard HTML or XHTML pages, so perhaps there's no chance of being
able to access radar images on the mobile?

even with WAP it should be able to show b/w images. I'm not sure though
if any serviceprovider offers this. Mine (Vodafone) over here in Holland
does offer (x)HTML since they only support a limited nr of handsets.
