Video: A new radar for Toowoomba, Queensland

The new Toowoomba weather radar is now live. Those in the Toowoomba region can now make more informed decisions about the weather.

The new radar gives local community, emergency services and industry improved weather information, including real-time rainfall and wind conditions, across larger areas.

The new radar extends coverage west and southwest of Toowoomba including the Northern parts of the Mooney and Border rivers catchment, the upper Condamine river catchment and the mining and resources precinct around Chinchilla.

The new radar will provide real-time weather information for the local community all day, every day, whether you are harvesting the crops, travelling on the Warrego highway or heading to a local event.

You can view images from the new weather radar on the BOM Weather app or at bom.gov.au.
