Longreach Radar/Lightning
About ninemsn weather Radar
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.
Radar Details
Queensland
LocationLongreach Airport Radar TypeWF 100 C Band Typical Availability0000-0915; 1030-1515; 1630-2115; 2230 -0000
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).
