      @mcgr1m3 said in Radar data needed! Help us with the data gathering:

      In Australia we have free access as to the government run (Bureau Of Meteorology) Unsure if they would allow this to be utilised for another weather site but worth a try.

      Guys fantastic site, as a amature weather enthusiast I use it and recommend it the most. The Australian BOM will help they are flexible and progressive. There will be BOM staff with the best contact details watching this thread...

                          ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/radar/
                          Keep up the great work.

                                In NZ, our main weather radars are:
                                NIWA: https://weather.niwa.co.nz/
                                Metservice: http://www.metservice.com/national/home

                                The evening news uses the data from Metservice, but I'm not sure if they use or swap the data with NIWA. I'm also not sure if they charge.
