Elders weather radar qld Cairns radar is situated approximately 9km NNW of Cairns airport at Saddle Mountain on the Kuranda range at a height of 652m above MSL. Select Brisbane radar to see the latest rainfall and storm activity in the area. Provides access to meteorological images of the 512 km composite Emerald Radar radar of rainfall and wind. The radar has good coverage over the ocean from North West, through the North, East and South East. Meteorological Aspects: The radar is well situated to monitor rain bearing weather systems that may affect the catchments and valleys of Lake Maraboon, the Nogoa river and Theresa Creek systems.

National, state and local weather radar animation from the Bureau of Meteorology showing detailed rain coverage for the past 2 hours National, state and local weather radar animation from the Bureau of Meteorology showing detailed rain coverage for the past 2 hours Located at 343m on the summit of Mt Kanighan 26 km north of Gympie this radar has a very good view of any precipitation that may fall within its area of coverage. This radar has good visibility in all directions with light echoes being detected out to about 100km and stronger echoes out to about 300km. The radar is ideally sited to provide meteorological coverage for the surrounding area, with an almost unobstructed view in all directions. The radar is situated at the top of the hill at the Northern tip of Abbot Point, approximately 25km North West of the Bowen Township. Sea-breeze convergence lines can return false echoes (anomalous propagation), as can strong temperature inversions in the lower levels of This radar has almost unrestricted views to seawards from the north to the south-southeast. Being a "C Band" radar, if there are large thunderstorms around, the radar will not be able to detect accurately the strength of other storms located behind the closest storms. Located at 343m on the summit of Mt Kanighan 26 km north of Gympie this radar has a very good view of any precipitation that may fall within its area of coverage. It should provide useful weather information as far west as Walgett, south to Gunnedah, north to Goondiwindi and east to Delungra. Thunderstorms, rain bearing depressions, troughs and fronts will be able to be tracked and the distribution of rainfall produced by these systems can be monitored to provide valuable The radar is ideally sited to provide meteorological coverage for the surrounding area, with an almost unobstructed view in all directions. Future radar is a new drop-down option available on the Weatherzone radar, allowing you to see where precipitation may fall in the next 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hour timeframe. Mackay radar has a good view of the surrounding area and is rarely affected by anomalous propagation. Some permanent echoes occur to the north and west. . Elsewhere, the topography restricts the ability of the radar to detect only major echoes to the northwest, the south-southwest and the south-southeast. National, state and local weather radar animation from the Bureau of Meteorology showing detailed rain coverage for the past 2 hours Meteorological Aspects: The radar is well situated to monitor rain bearing weather systems that may affect the catchments and valleys of the Warrego and the Maranoa River basins. The radar's coverage, based on detecting echoes at an altitude of 3000m, extends to a range of about 200 km in the north to Tin Can Bay, then it follows a smooth arc through the east to the south-south-east, where it rapidly reduces to about 150 km at Evans Head.

The radar has good visibility in all directions, though does have some limitations to the SSE looking over Mt Bellenden Ker (1593m) and Mt Bartle Frere (1622m) at approximately 40 and 60km respectively. See lightning events, rain coverage, current conditions and national warnings for the past 2 hours. Light rain from mid-level cloud can be "seen" out to about 250km, however, these can sometimes be misleading as the radar often detects virga (precipitation which does not reach the ground). It is a prediction that uses past radar and satellite data to infer National, state and local weather radar animation from the Bureau of Meteorology showing detailed rain coverage for the past 2 hours The radar's coverage, based on detecting echoes at an altitude of 3000m, extends to a range of about 200 km in the north to Tin Can Bay, then it follows a smooth arc through the east to the south-south-east, where it rapidly reduces to about 150 km at Evans Head. This extends from seawards of Fraser Is to the east, down to the Brisbane region to the south, out to about Chinchilla to the west, and up to about Miriam Vale to the north.
