@mcgr1m3 You can freely access the BOM radar images here: ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/radar/

I would say using the data on Windy would classify as "publishing". Here's where the fees to become a registered user are: http://www.bom.gov.au/other/charges.shtml

Here's a link to some sample data from the different radar packages (just match up the IDR number from the fees page: ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/sample/catalogue/Radar/
I'm not sure how much coverage of the country that is but there is also other options on that fees page.

Volumetric radar user manual:
http://reg.bom.gov.au/catalogue/radar_data_2017.pdf

Looks like the registered user costs are:
Service establishment: $1,025 (one-time)
FTP Access: $985 (per year)
1x radar package: $1,690.00 (per year)

+$345 if you were to change your service.

I'd be so excited to see weather radar on windy! I hope the people at the BOM are watching this thread. :D

Hi Mezza, windy.com already has the "Weather Radar" feature, scroll to the bottom of the Show/add more layers menu It's the 2nd from the bottom on a computer web browser.

I doesn't include Australia and depending on copyright, etc the raw (BOM) images are available to the public/non-commercial use.

Don't you think this would be useful? It wont restrict your research/data accuracy in any way.

I have a feature request. The Australia BoM provides their radar images and other data for non comercial use here: http://www.bom.gov.au/catalogue/anon-ftp.shtml

Is it possible that the radar images (and other data) could be incorporated similar to the USA, South Korea, PR, etc?
