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.
