Radar Delay

[Samsta]

I subscribed to the NetWeather radar last night, but the radar is delayed by 10-15 minutes, I thought it was supposed to be 5 minutes?

Whats going on?

The delay is generally 8-10 minutes - ie the radar will show the 13:45 radar at between 13:53 and 13:55 - some times it's a little quicker, sometimes a little slower and is totally dependant on the time it takes for the met-office to send the updated data.

It is updated every 5 minutes though, and the processing once we receive the data takes less than a minute, so you're viewing the most upto date radar info that is possible.

Ah okay, its still the best UK radar on the internet!
