How do I find Satellite images?

From the home page click weather maps on the left and choose Satellite. The national animating infrared satellite image will display. To zoom in click your state on the map or it?s name above the map.

Directly above the map is the option to display a black and white infrared image, a visible satellite image and a water vapour image. Below the map you can change the duration, speed and dwell of the animation. A control panel on the left allows you to navigate through the animation image by image. There are also tick boxes below the map to overlay district borders, lightning and rainfall data.

Another map display of satellite images is available using the Weatherzone Stormtracker. From the home page click the weather maps link on the left and choose Stormtracker. To zoom in click a region name above the map. To display satellite images tick the satellite box below the map.

For more information on using the Stormtracker see the Stormtracker FAQ. You can also access satellite images by clicking your state on the home page. Then click satellite as your map type on the next page.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW

11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
