          Howdy,
          Please see the FTP site below for Australian radar data.
          ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/radar/
          Keep up the great work.
          Cheers

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

              You may find our free datapoint service to be suitable to your needs: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint

              DataPoint is a way of accessing freely available Met Office data feeds in a format that is suitable for application developers. 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.

              Access to data includes:

              forecast and observation map layers such as radar and cloud cover for the UK;
              forecast and observed site specific data such as temperature, wind speed and direction; and,
              regularly updated text forecasts for mountain weather, national parks and UK regions.

              We have quite a lot of online support available for datapoint on the links below, which may provide you with some guidance if required.

                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.
