www.bom.gov.auI can help with the latest Melbourne radar updates, but I don’t have real-time access right now. Here’s how you can get the 256 km Melbourne radar view and what to look for:
Core answer
- For a 256 km Melbourne radar view, use official Australian BoM or reputable radar aggregators that offer 256 km range, typically labelled as “256 km Melbourne radar loop” or “256 km Broadmeadows radar loop.” These pages show current rainfall intensity, wind, and movement, with recent frames and update intervals.
Where to check (recommended sources)
- Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) radar pages: BoM hosts multiple radar loops including 256 km range around Melbourne. Look for pages like the 256 km Melbourne/Broadmeadows radar loop and related radar products. These pages may occasionally undergo maintenance, which can briefly affect availability. See BoM radar pages for Melbourne-area coverage and alerts. [citation: BoM radar product listings]
- Weatherzone Melbourne radar (256 km option): Weatherzone often provides multiple radar views for Melbourne, including ranges around 128 km, 64 km, and extended ranges like 256 km, with “Future radar” predictions. Use their Melbourne radar page and select the 256 km view if available. [citation: Weatherzone Melbourne radar pages]
- Seabreeze Melbourne rain radar: Some aggregators publish embedded Melbourne rain radar with 256 km range and provide contextual notes about radar location and coverage. If you need a quick visual, this can be a convenient reference. [citation: Seabreeze Melbourne Rain Radar 256km]
What to look for in a radar view
- Range indicator: Ensure the view is set to 256 km to capture outer suburbs and surrounding basins.
- Update cadence: Real-time or near-real-time updates (every few minutes) help track storms.
- Color scale: Typically greens to reds indicate light to heavy rainfall; legend on the page shows exact meanings.
- Track features: Some radars show storm movement arrows or predicted tracks for the next 30–60 minutes.
