Rain Intensity

The rain radar is an indication (within limitations) of rain intensity, using a colour key to illustrate a range from light rain through to possible hail. The absence of colour on the map indicates a lack of likely rainfall. Radar images are updated at 6am, midday and 6pm, everyday.

The 'Isobar' or 'Synoptic' map is updated at 6am, midday and 6pm, everyday. It illustrates the weather systems currently in play around New Zealand and the East Coast of Australia at sea level.
