@TomSlavkovsky @ivo I think I found radar data for Sweden. There is some other data in there you might also want to take a look at. Like: weather forecasting models, ocean information and warnings data.

@TheRadarGuy Thx for the link, I have contacted the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute and there is a fee for HDF5 format - 24.000 SEK per year.

@leapenn Could send me a link for the data?
-
Do you have a list of providers that have already agreed to share this information?

Germany's National Meteorological Service DWD offers most data as opendata, radars included
http://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/opendata/opendata.html -
The University of Bonn (Germany, Rhineland Palatinate) operates a local rain radar. The range is about 120km around Bonn.
There are also no commercial interests behind it I think and they pass the data to you perhaps.

@Snipersupersix I think this is part of opendata of DWD, they offer radar data from all German radar stations

Here is a huge list of radar data sources, but probably mainly images and not raw: rainviewer sources Although raw data is better, a composite from images would be great beta version!
Edit: Link should work now!

UK Met Office Data is available free through their DataPoint API (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint/product/rainfall-radar-map-layer). API documentation: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/content/assets/mohippo/pdf/3/0/datapoint_api_reference.pdf

Awaiting response from Colombian agency in charge of radar data. And crossing fingers.

Hello,
You can gather radar data for the CONUS from amazon web services.
Look at the link below:

I saw that you need radar data from Portugal, the local Met Institute provides that data, but it's probably really hard to get as they provide it in the form of an image, here: http://www.ipma.pt/en/otempo/obs.radar/
EDIT: Looks like they provide that data in a map form too: https://www.ipma.pt/en/otempo/obs.remote/index.jsp
