      @rudy25 BOM do supply those data for free. I'm not sure about their distribution policy tho. You can have access here: ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/register/bom035/5f0dnLJt/radar/IDR*POL.201807131906.txt

      We ingest this data regularly in our data platform were I work. The raw data is in RAPIC format, which we wrote some parsers in Python. I will ask the if we could open source the parsers, but should be a no brainer.

              Myanmar Government website provides weather data including satellite image and weather radar image free of charge to the public. But I am not sure to allow an organization/ site to use it free of charge. Please try below link
              https://www.moezala.gov.mm

                This is the official Colombian civil aviation authority weather site where you can find radar imaging: http://meteorologia.aerocivil.gov.co/radar/index/aoi/CRM/Reflectividad de Base 0.5 deg

                As far as I know, there is no FTP where you can download the data. However, I'll try and search for one.

                          Hi,

                          I don't know if this site's administrator could assist you with Australian Weather Radar data/imagery for the Windy site. Handy site though with historical radar imagery going back a number of years for the majority of Aust radar locations.

                            @Tomber42 Greek and Italy are almost ready; however, there were some troubles with the implementation. Also, the input data are really poor.

                              I almost forgot to mention that we have added Estonian radar! Thank you to Valeria from Estonian government, she noticed that we are missing the data and she sent us the data feed with raw data (.h5). Thank you!

                                  Irish radars are already implemented on Windy radar layer.

                                    @idefix37 Yes, they are included in the UK radar we have from metoffice, but the images are in 15 minute intervals, and are usually delayed by another 15 minutes :/ not the best data source. This is also the reason why UK radar in our animation is usually displayed as too much behind (with the "crosshatch" pattern) in the last ~10 minute interval of the animation.

                                            Here's a JSON API endpoint for Mexico reports:

                                            http://smn.cna.gob.mx/es/web-service-api

                                            This is the actual controller method to consume:

                                            http://smn.cna.gob.mx/webservices/?method=1

                                            The result is a large gz file but inside is the actual JSON, according to their documentation it's refreshed every 15 minutes.

                                            I can help you guys with the translation if you need.

                                            Kep up the awesome work!
