Weather Radar to be Switched Off
The weather radar that so many of us here in Hervey Bay use to see what is going to happen with the weather will be switched off on July 10. The Bureau of Meteorology’s Mt Kanigan Radar will be switched off for a period of around six weeks while new radar equipment is installed.
If you can’t live without your daily fix of weather radar during that time then coverage for Hervey Bay will be provided by the 256 km Gladstone Radar. If you live further south towards Gympie you will find some coverage of your area will be provided by the 256 km Brisbane (Mt Stapylton) Radar. That radar provides coverage as far north as Tiaro.
