Check the live radar above for Gympie’s current rain activity — it shows precipitation intensity and movement within a 128 km radius, updated every 6 minutes. Use this to track approaching storms or showers before heading out.
What does the Gympie radar show right now?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s radar at Gympie (station ID: 023) offers a 128 km loop for today, with 256 km and 64 km range options available. The 512 km loop is useful for broader weather systems moving in from the coast. For the most accurate reading, switch to the 128 km range — it minimises ground clutter and focuses on local rainfall. The old BOM radar data is archived, but the live feed above is your best tool for real-time decisions.
How to interpret the radar for Gympie
Rain intensity is colour-coded: light blue for light drizzle (0.5–2 mm/h), green for moderate rain (2–10 mm/h), yellow for heavy rain (10–30 mm/h), and red for very heavy or severe rain (over 30 mm/h). Movement direction shows wind patterns at storm level. For a detailed forecast, check the Brisbane Weather page, which covers broader South East Queensland trends.
Can I see old BOM radar loops for Gympie?
No — archived BOM radar data for Gympie is not publicly available via live feeds. The live radar above shows only current and recent scans (up to 1 hour back). For historical analysis, use Weatherzone’s radar archive or the BOM’s climate data service.
Why is the Gympie radar blank sometimes?
A blank radar screen usually means no precipitation is detected within the selected range. It can also indicate a brief maintenance outage or ground-clutter filtering. If it persists, check the BOM’s radar status page or the Australia weather hub for updates.
How does the 64 km range help?
The 64 km range focuses on immediate local showers, reducing interference from distant storms. It’s ideal for spotting light drizzle or short-lived cells near Gympie itself. Use it alongside the 128 km loop for a complete picture.
