Victoria Weather and Warnings - BoM
Provides access to Australian weather forecasts, weather observations, flood warnings and high sea forecasts from each state and territory provided by the Bureau of Meteorology
www.bom.gov.auHere’s the latest overview of BOM weather radar for Melbourne.
-
What BOM radar covers: The Bureau of Meteorology provides real-time radar data for Melbourne and surrounding Victoria, showing current rainfall intensity, movement, and coverage. This includes Doppler radar imagery and composite rainfall data useful for tracking storms in and around Melbourne.[5]
-
How to access it quickly: BOM’s Victoria pages host radar and observations, with Melbourne-specific radar loops and overlays available alongside forecast and warning information. For up-to-date radar imagery and storm tracking in Melbourne, check the BOM Vic radar sections and the Victoria observations pages.[7][5]

Related sources you may also see used for cross-checking: Weatherzone and other regional radar aggregators publish Melbourne radar loops and future radar predictions, which can supplement BOM data, particularly for quick-look overviews and user-friendly interfaces. These sources often show similar radar imagery and timing windows (now and the next 30–60 minutes).[1][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent BOM radar image for Melbourne and summarize the current precipitation bands, or compare BOM radar with another provider’s recent radar loop. I can also generate a short 30-minute forecast based on observed movement if you specify your preferred location within the Melbourne area (e.g., Melbourne CBD, inner east, or outer suburbs).
