The first beta version of the V5 Netweather Radar is now available to Netweather Extra subscribers (fill, lite and radar only).

This major upgrade brings a brand new interface and radar map online allowing totally free zoom and pan around the radar map right down to street level, along with a range of other features.

Some screenshots showing some different zooms and radar scale options (including the weather type radar which is live on this first beta version):

The radar can be accessed here:

A lot of work has gone into this new system, so we really hope you like it - please bear in mind that as a first beta there will be some bugs and it currently has only a limited feature set, but we will be updating a regular intervals prior to a final release of the finished version.

If you have any comments or feedback please feel free to post them here, or contact us via the form on the radar page. I would ask that you post bug reports and issues via the form only though so we can keep them in one place and track any issues properly.

Thanks

Paul

Just had a go on it, initial impression is that it looks great, really looking forward to following this years storms on it, its brilliant that you can now see exactly where precip is in relation to places. Thanks for the effort that obviously went into creating this product.

If you ask a question in the strat thread, please check that it isn't answered in the first post first. You wouldn't open a book halfway through and expect to know what's going on now, would you?

Must say i am extremely impressed by V5 ... it is just like using the Barons ThreatNet Radar we use for storm chasing in the USA, though of course without the technical extras.
