View the latest Infrared (IR) and Visible satellite imagery from JMA's Himawari satellite along with a national radar mosaic and weather observations from The Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Touch any open area on the map to start/stop the animation, click on markers to access specific radar and observation details
There are four sets of controls at the bottom :
- The first row controls the backround imagery on the map, a static Terrain view, or live, animated satellite views
- The second row allows you to overlay obserations from this time period :
- Temp - The latest temperature in degrees Celcius
- Rain - The amount of rainfall from the period you have selected (between 1 hr and 1 week)
- Rain 9am - The rain since 9am local time
- Wind - The latest wind direction and strength as indicated by standard wind barbs
- River - The latest river height available. Some river measurements are delayed, so more will be visible at longer time periods
- On the third row you can select the time period you wish to animate through. Changing this to longer time periods can increase the animation interval due to memory constraints
- Lastly there is the interval the animation runs at. The radar imagery is available at 5 minute intervals while the live satellite imagery is 10 minutes at most
