Hobart rain radar: classic loop
Follow recent rain around Hobart with a classic radar loop centred on the city. Switch view widths to compare the Derwent estuary and kunanyi / Mount Wellington with southern and eastern Tasmania. Hobart 7-day forecast.
Distance rings are measured from your selected location. Transparent areas may be dry or outside coverage. Colours are not a calibrated rainfall measurement.
Using the Hobart radar view
Hobart sits in the lee of kunanyi / Mount Wellington, and showers in westerly weather often fall more heavily on the mountain and western suburbs than on the eastern shore. Terrain can also partly block radar views of low cloud and rain.
The Bureau’s Mt Koonya and Hobart Airport loops are linked below. The rings on this view measure distance from the Hobart CBD.
Compare successive frames to see how echoes have moved. Playback shows what has already happened; it does not predict where the next shower will go.
