Non-cycling but possibly of interest

Haven't looked at other interstate BoM sites yet, but the Melb radar
upgrades finally have been completed. Now there's 64km, 128km, 256km
loops but also Doppler wind:

The loops also have better resolution. Previously you got 4 images at
10 minutes intervals. Now you get 6 images at 6 minute intervals, for
the same 30 minute overall period. The loops are really good for
deciding whether to ride now, or to wait half an hour until there is a
gap in the rain. If find these were more useful when I had a 20 minute
commute than a 60 minute.

There's also 11 image loops & 512km radar, but that for the CFA.

Looks like Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Yarrawonga
have them installed. What I would like to know, is why Yarrawonga?

Re Yarrawonga, the story goes that the Parliamentary Secretary ( a Liberal
pollie) with oversight of the Bureau at the time was the local member.
