About Farmonline Weather Radar
Distance and latitude/longitude coordinates are displayed when you mouse over the map. The
origin for distance measuring is indicated by a red dot and defaults to either your location, if specified and in range, or the location
of the radar/the centre of the map. The origin may be changed by clicking elsewhere on the map.
The colours and symbols used on the radar and satellite maps are described on our legend page. View legend »

This radar has good visibility in all directions with light echoes being detected out to about 100km and stronger echoes out to about 300km. 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).
