              Please see the FTP site below for Australian radar data.

                  Here's the reply I got from the UK MET office! :) Hope it helps.

                    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.

                                      @tomslavkovsky Maybe you should clarify (in the headline) which type of radar data you can use for windy. Sites with radar pictures doesn't help i think.
                                      Otherwise more and more of such not helpful links are posted here.

                                        @tomber42 Hi, georeferenced raw data is the best. However we can handle also pngs/gifs/jpegs and almost anything, but it can be difficult in some cases and is not reliable in general.
                                        Another important parameters for measuring quality of the data source are:

                                        • Time sampling: Optimal is 5 minutes. More than 15 minutes is hardly usable
                                        • Time delay: Bigger than 15 minutes can be problematic
                                        • Spatial resolution: Should not be worse than ~2km/pixel
