How do I find radar images?

From the homepage click on weather maps on the left and choose radar. A national animating radar image will be displayed.

To zoom in, click a state on the map or its name above the map. To zoom in further tick "Clickable" box then click on the state map. Below the map you can change the duration, speed and dwell of the animation. A control panel on the left allows you to navigate through the animation image by image. There are also tick boxes below the map to overlay rivers, roads, district borders, towns, lightning and rainfall.
Another map display of radar images is available using the Stormtracker. From the home page click the weather maps link on the left and choose Stormtracker. To zoom in click a region name above the map.

Decent rain en route to bone-dry southwest WA

14:29 AEST Welcome rain is coming to the parched southwest WA this week, possibly including Perth and Bunbury which are both having their driest 7 months on record. Many locations in the southwest will see the driest April on record, with much of this rainfall likely to contribute to May’s totals, as a cold front approaches the state on later in the week. Rainfall and thunderstorms are forecast in the Gascoyne region on Monday afternoon, before shifting to the Central West, Lower West and Central Wheatbelt regions on Tuesday.
