      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

                                  I haven't tested yet, but in Brazil I've found the Airforce Command Moteorology Network's API (https://www.redemet.aer.mil.br/?i=facilidades&p=api-redemet).

                                  Also, the National Spacial Research Institute (INPE) has information about a FTP server in what they called PCD (Data Collection Platform). Information can be found here: http://sinda.crn2.inpe.br/PCD/SITE/novo/site/index.php or webmaster@inpe.br

                                  We also have the National Meteorology Institute (INMET - http://www.inmet.gov.br/portal/) and the Weather Prevision Center and Climate Studies (CPTEC - http://tempo.cptec.inpe.br/).

                                  Hope it helps.

                                    About the china map , you can refer to the map app in China . vista :彩云天气 http://www.caiyunapp.com/map/ .
                                    But in this application, some api is free, but you need to register and send an e-mail to him about “No commercial use” user.

                                        Are you sure that the data provided are RADAR data?

                                        I visited the link you gave and I saw that there are data for Greece (where no radar data provided).
                                        By comparing with www.sat24com "rain" and
                                        EUMETSAT visualised product MPE (Multi-Sensor Precipitation Estimate)
                                        I realized that the image in the Chinese site is not radar
                                        but processed satellite data!

                                          I cheked it again and maybe I am wrong!
                                          Probably the echoes over Greece come from a wx radar in S. Italy.

                                            I am not sure. but in our wiki and Official website, it says "Caiyun Weather really use radar."

                                            0_1529081599323_2018-06-16_0-42-35.png

                                            (From BAIDU WIKI)
                                            https://baike.baidu.com/item/彩云天气/14690971

                                            I am living in China, and I find out Caiyun Weather always updated less than 10 minutes. I think this case, the satellite could not be always updated less than 10 minutes?
