Hi there! I see you're not seeing the rain map on the Rain Radar Australia app. Let’s work together to get that fixed. To start, can you tell me a bit more about what exactly you see when you open the app? For example, is the map area blank, or do you get an error message? Also, have you checked if your internet connection is stable?

While I wait for your details, here are some basic steps to try:

1. Check Internet Connection: Ensure you have a good internet connection, either Wi-Fi or mobile data.

2. Refresh the App: Close the app completely and reopen it to see if the radar loads.

3. Update the App: Verify the app is updated to the latest version available in the Play Store, as sometimes older versions can have issues.

4. Clear App Cache: On Android 10, navigate to Settings > Apps > Rain Radar Australia > Storage > Clear Cache. This can resolve issues related to temporary files.

If none of these work, we might want to check app permissions to make sure location services are enabled, as the radar relies on your location to display accurate information.

Could you try these and let me know if anything changes? That way, I can guide you further!

Rader is blank

Thanks for letting me know the radar shows a blank screen. Let's get this sorted out. Since you're on an Android 10 device using the Rain Radar Australia app on a WebKit browser, here are some targeted steps you can try:

1. Update the App: Make sure you have the latest version of the Rain Radar Australia app installed. Sometimes, the radar data source has updates that require the latest app version to display properly.

2. Refresh the Radar Data: Close the app completely and then reopen it. This refresh often resolves data loading issues.

3. Clear App Cache and Data:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Rain Radar Australia > Storage.
- Tap Clear Cache and then Clear Data. Clearing data may reset settings, so you might need to re-enter preferences.

4. Check Location Permissions: Confirm that the app has permission to access your location, as location data helps display the radar centered on your area. Go to Settings > Apps > Rain Radar Australia > Permissions, and make sure "Location" is allowed.

5. Try a Different Location Manually: Sometimes the radar display can be blank if the app is stuck on a location with no radar coverage or an error. Try setting the location manually within the app to a nearby city or region.

6. Check for Known Server/Data Issues: There have been reports of temporary issues loading radar data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) servers that power this app’s radar images. If the problem persists despite everything, the issue may be on their end, requiring a wait until they fix it.

If after these steps the radar is still blank, I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app to fully reset any app-specific glitches.

Here is a helpful community thread where people discussed a similar issue with Rain Radar AU app loading radar info from BOM servers and suggested updates, refreshes, and reinstalling the app as fixes:

Let me know how you go with these steps or if you want me to walk you through any of them! Are you satisfied with this approach so far?

Is there an update available for the Rain Radar app?

Thanks for asking about an update for the Rain Radar Australia app. According to the latest info from the Google Play Store, the Rain Radar Australia app has an update dated November 12, 2025, which means the app is actively maintained and updates are available there1.

Since you’re on Android 10 and using a WebKit browser, I’d recommend going to the Google Play Store on your device and checking there if an update is pending. If you find an update, please install it and then restart the app to see if the radar loads properly afterward.

If your app is already up to date and the radar is still blank, we can explore some further troubleshooting steps.

Would you like me to help guide you through the update process on your device? Are you satisfied with this information so far?

What new features are in the latest Rain Radar app update?

Great question! The latest Rain Radar Australia app update includes a few handy features designed to improve your experience:

- It automatically updates the available list of radars and their ranges as new ones become available, without needing to install an app update every time. This means you get fresh radar data and new locations added seamlessly.
- The app now displays an optional map pin so you can easily see your selected location on the radar map.
- Other features users often mention include full-screen mode, landscape support, pinch and pan zooming, a favourites list, GPS location integration, nearest radars list, national radar, and observation layers like wind speed and temperature for a more detailed view.

These updates make the radar experience smoother and more customizable for your weather tracking needs1 2 3.

If you want, I can help you explore these new features once your app is updated. Just let me know! Are you happy with this info so far?

No rader

Thanks for coming back. Since you’re still seeing no radar on the Rain Radar Australia app, it’s worth noting that recently there have been reports that the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) updated their website and removed some radar data that third-party apps use, which has caused outages or issues with radar images not loading properly in apps like Rain Radar Australia4 5. This means the problem might be external and outside your device or app control for now.

Here’s what you can still try while this gets resolved on their end:

1. Confirm Internet Connection: Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data to rule out connection issues.

2. Update or Reinstall the App: Make sure the app is the latest version from the Play Store. Sometimes reinstalling can reset any outdated links.

3. Check Radar Layer Settings: If the app has settings for radar layers, ensure the rain radar layer is enabled.

4. Try Alternative Radar Sources: Some users switch to other weather apps or services while waiting for the BOM data to be restored.

5. Keep an Eye on Official BOM Announcements: The BOM website or social media may issue updates on radar service restoration1.

Unfortunately, if the radar feed itself is down on the server side, the app won’t be able to display the radar no matter the device or connection.

Are you currently able to check other weather details in the app, or is it just the radar map that’s blank? Knowing this will help me suggest alternatives or workarounds for your weather info needs.

Let me know how you want to proceed!

No radar

Thanks for your patience. Based on recent information, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has updated their website and removed radar data sources that many third-party apps, including Rain Radar Australia, rely on to display radar maps1. This change has caused the radar to stop showing in the app, resulting in a blank radar screen despite your device and app working fine otherwise.

Here’s what this means for you right now:

- The radar data is temporarily unavailable because the BOM has changed the way they provide radar info, affecting third-party apps.
- The issue is external, so it won’t be fixed by reinstalling or updating the app alone.
- BOM has been working on reverting or improving the radar service, but as of the latest updates, some users still face outages or missing radar maps6.

What you can do:

1. Check for app updates regularly: The Rain Radar Australia app developers may update the app to use new radar data sources or fix compatibility with BOM's changes.

2. Try official BOM Weather app or website: For the most reliable radar and weather info, consider using the official Bureau of Meteorology website or their official app, as they control the data directly4.

3. Stay informed: Keep an eye on BOM’s official announcements or social media channels about radar service restoration.

4. Alternative weather apps: Meanwhile, you might explore other Australian weather apps that may have adapted quicker to the data changes.

I understand this interruption isn’t ideal, but it’s due to changes on the weather service side rather than your device or the app itself. Please let me know if you want guidance on trying the official BOM app or exploring alternatives, or if you have any other questions!

No Rader swowing rain map 🗺️

Hi again! I understand your Rain Radar Australia app is still not showing the rain map, so let’s get to the bottom of this with the latest info available.

Recently, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) updated their website and radar services. This caused several third-party apps, including Rain Radar Australia, to lose access to some radar data. Many users reported the radar map appearing blank or showing no rain even when rain was present1.

The good news is that BOM has acknowledged the issue and reverted to a previous radar system that users preferred9. However, some apps are still catching up with these changes, and radar data availability might be inconsistent for now.

Here’s what you can try on your Android 10 device using the WebKit browser or app:

1. Check Radar Layer Settings: Open the app and look for the map layers or settings icon. Make sure that the rain radar layer and radar coverage are enabled10.

2. Refresh the App: Close it completely and reopen. If the app cached old radar data, a fresh load might help.

3. Update or Reinstall the App: Go to the Play Store, check for any updates, and install them. If there’s no update, uninstall and reinstall the app to reset its connection to BOM’s feeds.

4. Try Alternative Radar Apps: While waiting for full service restoration in your preferred app, you can try apps like "AUS Rain Radar - Old Bom Radar" which still display radar using BOM’s previous data sources6.

5. Visit the Official BOM Website or App: The Bureau of Meteorology’s official weather app and website provide the most current radar and weather maps and have been updated to work smoothly with the radar data4.

If after these steps the radar is still blank, the issue is very likely on the data provider side as the BOM radar service transitions or updates take effect.

Would you like me to assist you step-by-step with updating or reinstalling the app? Or would you prefer recommendations on alternative radar apps in the meantime?
