It is aimed at professionals, the scientific community and student or amateur developers, in fact anyone looking to re-use Met Office data within their own innovative applications.

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.
