Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 23 June 2026 by the Oz Reviewly Weather Desk. Data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and other national met services via Open-Meteo.
The live radar above shows rain and snow across the globe in near-real time. It combines data from weather satellites and ground-based radar stations, including the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, to give you a clear picture of current precipitation worldwide.
How does the global weather radar work?
The global radar display merges satellite imagery with land-based radar networks. The live satellite map updates every few minutes, showing where rain, snow, or storms are active. For Australia, it pulls in data from the BoM’s Doppler radar network. For other regions, it uses feeds from agencies like NOAA, giving you a live weather map that covers the whole planet.
What can the live weather map tell you?
You can see the location and intensity of rain bands, cyclones, and frontal systems. The world weather map live also highlights snow over mountain ranges in winter. If you’re planning travel, use it alongside a Australia weather hub for local details. For longer planning, check a Melbourne Weather or Sydney Weather forecast.
Can I see the global weather radar NOAA feed on this page?
Yes. The live radar above includes NOAA’s global mosaic, which combines satellite and ground radar data for North America and other regions. It’s the same data used by meteorologists worldwide.
Does the world weather forecast 14 days affect the radar display?
No. The radar shows current precipitation only. For future conditions, use a 14-day forecast tool. You can check Perth Weather or Brisbane Weather for extended outlooks.
Why does the world weather forecast 10 days sometimes disagree with the radar?
A 10-day forecast is a prediction; the radar is observed reality. Always rely on the live radar for what is happening now, and treat forecasts as guidance for likely conditions ahead.
