Yes this is definitely something we're planning and have been doing some work on - no eta on it as yet as it's quite a major job but we're on the case!

Excellent. Thanks Paul.

I've noticed on occasions ( and today is one of them ) that the rainfall radar image appears to radiate out from a central point, rather like a child's drawing of the sun but more complex.

This does not appear on the much less detailed radar on the Met' Office site, only on the greater resolution of the NW radar, does anyone know the reason for this?

I think it's quite common on the shannon radar, which I know is a bit ropey at the best of times, but I'll endeavour to get some more information on the actual cause.

Yes, I have noticed it more frequently on the Shannon radar. Thanks Paul.

The NW radar is an excellent tool, no doubt about it. But is there any possibility of having a variable zoom rather than only either zoomed in or zoomed out? Would be quite useful.

If you hold Shift you can drag the zoom box to any size you like. B)

So you can! Ive had the NW radar for about 2 years now and it looks like nick2702 is not the only one who hadn't discovered that!

Thanks that will come in useful :D

Strange. Can you see the zoom box in the first place? (Top left with the black and white dashed lines) All you should need to do is move it then enlarge it by holding shift and dragging the mouse. Then click zoom in.

Met-office are having some problems this afternoon with some files not arriving, I'll give them a nudge to see what's happening.
