      It seems to happen when you scroll back to the beginning of time and hit play. It shows up for a few seconds and disappears. The last I saw this was in the middle of July.

        Hello @mackymack, this is not a spiral storm but a disruption on the radar itself.
        'Strange' artifacts can be sometimes seen on the radar. There are various causes – the radar is being tested, a flock of birds, and others.

          Spiral echoes:This type of interference pattern is caused by a nearby radar transmitting on the same frequency.

            I arrived here while searching for the same issue (it's occurring as I post this message). What I don't get is why that doesn't show up on other weather sites' radars.
