Is it Clear Tonight baby?

Post by Ekezial »

Here are some radar images of Singapore's Cloud cover, updated every 5 mins +- 1min

rad70.gif = 70Km range
rad120.gif = 120Km range with Windmap
rad240.gif = 240Km range

For anything more accurate,just look outside!
Have fun with the images!

Hi:

I thought the radar is detecting rain drop/clouds. So if no rain - no detection but no guarantee it is a cloudless?

I am guessing the radar reflecting signal strength is proporational to the moisture/rain density/size...

May be you should re-titled "should i take in the bamboo poles ( laundry)" instead.

I guess it is rainfall and not cloud cover :( But they're certainly better than anything else I have. Anyone know any other real time links that shows cloud cover for Singapore ?
