Official Grafton radar loops
The Bureau of Meteorology still publishes the classic loops for this radar on reg.bom.gov.au, at each range it offers:
The classic-style loop above is centred on the radar site, so its distance rings line up with the station's range: its view widths match the Bureau's loop ranges.
About the Grafton radar

Further out, between 128 and 256 km: Gold Coast (183 km north), Brisbane (239 km north), Toowoomba (250 km north-west), Tamworth (255 km south-west). Radar beams climb with distance, so light rain far from the radar can be missed.

Looking for the old BOM radar?
Atmosphr's classic-style loop above is independent of the Bureau of Meteorology. Its imagery is a historical composite supplied through RainViewer, not this station's own product: for the station's own imagery, use the official loops linked above. See every Bureau radar loop by state.
