Animated and with lightning and rainfall overlays? I guess this was (or is) a premium offering, maybe it's a mistake for non-member plebs to see?

If it is ongoing - it looks great!

i would suspect that those tick box settings only apply to the ozy maps?
but i could be wrong
(ticking them does not do anything on the nz weather map?)

Cool, this looks great

The lightning box seems to work, I'm still waiting for it to load to try the rest. I wish MS had some of the stuff WZ has.

Here's a couple of questions for you guys. How come MS doesn't use the infra red sat animations that xtra.co.nz uses on its weather page they are more detailed, i'll put some images below in a moment. Also, the historical archive of analysis images use colour and they look really good. It's a shame they don't use those two variations all the time.

Looks cool, but I don't think lightning and rainfall info will be available..

That time stamp is 30mins out.

There was one lightning plot last night but I couldn't relate it to any other lightning info I could find so who knows?! Have to wait for next week

maby that infomation will come for NZ soon who knows

The lightning plot is looking really good! seems very accurate at least for the tasman to NZ and very easy to read

I assume It must be from an Australian lightning detection network as the plots are not from the NZ network or any private ones I know of, be interesting to see how well it covers inland NZ..

there is a dot off the eastern SI..right where are CB went through on the animation,....looking good

Manukau heads obs · Mon 31/07/2006 22:09

seems to be working very well so far for strikes in the tasman sea at the moment!!

squid · Unread post by **squid** » Mon 31/07/2006 22:18

great can track lightning for both Aus and NZ

It will also be great for tracking tropical cyclones aswell.
