    Why can't the UK weather radar show clouds as well as rain?

    Weather Radar - Live UK Rainfall Radar - Netweather.tv

    It just isn't good enough

    Is there some other weather radar page that shows cloud cover v clear sky?

    Surely that isn't too much to ask in this day and age.

          Possibly because the sole purpose of said radar is to detect rain?

            not at all, they have to make an effort to make the clouds disappear.
            Clutter in radar is a problem, so you have to identify moving targets and eliminate the rest. Cloud would be slow moving, so it's possible to allow the signal through. It's not perfect, but it's good enough

            a radar is basically an eyeball, at a different frequency

              Good stuff. Think I shall fly to Germany so I can fart on the Scots. Now I can sit and watch clouds all day, step up from my usual pastime of staring at the wall all day.

                    Looks pretty, but it doesn't seem to be live in the way that cloud radar is.
