      @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.

          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

              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!

                          Hi !
                          In Europe we have Opera Project under the umbrella of Eumetnet that work on an European Mosaic.
                          You can find the animation here: http://eumetnet.eu/activities/observations-programme/current-activities/opera-radar-animation/

                          Regards.
                          Gabriele

                          P.S. Sorry I did not read the introduction... you of course already know of Opera... ;)

                                Hello,

                                You can gather radar data for the CONUS from amazon web services.
                                Look at the link below:
                                https://aws.amazon.com/public-datasets/nexrad/

                                Cheers!

                                    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

                                          According to my knowledge, South African weather models can be accessed from the SAWS(South African Weather Services) website. They have synoptic charts, radar and other useful data!!!
