Sorry publicity launched today...but yi ha

 

Japan launched a new BOM satellite with 50 times the details in full colour and it looking at Australia as well..

 

They say its like switching from black and white TV to colour TV in terms of seeing and predicting weather...

Its pretty bloody good take a look http://satview.bom.gov.au/

 

zoom in on your area and compare it to your day... note it only goes back about 4:10 so later tonight you wont see much

 

But after 4 hours airborne today that's an amazingly accurate visual description of what I saw... I can really relate to that.. I guess as it gets thicker its going to be harder to interpret, but that probably screaming something at you anyway.
