View the latest Infrared (IR) and Visible satellite imagery from JMA's Himawari satellite along with a national radar mosaic and AWS observations from The Australian Bureau of Meteorology
Visible satellite imagery is only available during local daylight hours. It is blended with the infrared imagery during the night.
The radar overlay is available at 5 minute interval, satellite 10 minutes.
Data interval will be automatically increased for longer timeframes.

Base imagery
- Terrain: a static topographic base map.
- IR / Visible / WV: animated Himawari satellite imagery. Visible is only available during local daylight hours and is blended with infrared overnight.
Overlay layers
- Rain: the national radar rainfall mosaic.
- Radars: BoM radar site markers.
- Labels, Borders, Roads, Rivers, Contours: optional reference layers.
- Terrain: hillshade and elevation tint to show topography.
- Warnings: BoM active weather warnings (severe weather, wind, flood, fire).
- Temp: the latest temperature reading.
- Rain: rainfall accumulated over the timeframe you have selected.
- Rain 9am: rainfall since 9am local time.
- Wind: latest wind direction and strength as standard wind barbs.
- River: latest river height. Some readings are delayed, so more appear over longer timeframes.
- Click or tap any observation marker to open a detailed graph for that station.
Choose how far back the animation runs, from the last hour up to a week.
- Longer timeframes may automatically use a coarser interval due to memory constraints.
Sets how often a frame is shown in the animation.
- Radar is available at 5-minute intervals; live satellite imagery at 10 minutes.
- The interval is increased automatically for longer timeframes.

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
