Can anyone tell me where to access rain radar images that are updated more regularly than the Metservice 3 hourly one? Is there such a site?

Accuweather.com shows snow from round about 9 pm through to 3 am hope it lingers till the morning, no fun when it's too dark to see it coming down.

Sky TV - Ch 58.... or I can access METJET which is a subscriber only service from Metservice which has excellent updated data.

Thats ok snowstar...what he is saying I believe, is that accuracy is a problem with that particular site

Cheers for that, so many unreliable sites out there, makes it hard to find a good one I guess.

Can you recommend any good ones please?

Hi snowstar the very best is open the door and peer into the darkness.
The accuracy is outstanding.

Lol I stumbled on this site quite by chance while trolling the net for weather info. I have sneaked in quite a few times in the last 3 months but just joined recently, I'm sure I'll learn a lot more from you guys.
