About Weatherzone Radar

Lightning strikes are displayed as crosses and fade from white (current) to red (30 minutes ago) to blue (60 minutes ago).

Rainfall since 9am local time is displayed with coloured dots.

On local radar pages distance and latitude/longitude coordinates are displayed next to the time stamp 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.

LocationMarburg Radar TypeWSR 74 S Band Typical Availability24 hours

Situated at 370m on the Little Liverpool Range between Marburg and Rosewood and 53 km west of the Brisbane GPO this radar has a good overall view of precipitation in all sectors. However, there is some restriction on detection of low level precipitation in a narrow sector to the west southwest and over the Greater Brisbane Area. It is a fairly sensitive radar and sometimes detects virga (precipitation that does not reach the ground). This may give a false impression of rainfall affecting the area it covers.
