If you have Google Earth installed you might like to try out my Dynamic Data
Layer which overlays all real-time rainfall radar data. The direct link can
be found here http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=427065
and it can also be found from the Dynamic Data Layers forum on keyhole, last
post 29th May. Notes from the forum page below:

It incorporates work carried out by other GE community members, but I have
also spent some time adding radar data from many other locations, including
South Africa
Mexico
Canada
Brazil
Hawaii
Malaysia
Japan

and many more.

There are data available for other areas but the file names update
regularly, either time and date stamped or with random file names. This
particularly applies to all data from Scandinavia, so I'd be grateful if
anyone can find a source of easily linked data for that region.

A special note - please do not switch on the whole layer at once, unless you
have loads of memory. Although GE will cope with many radar images at once,
I find that switching on all the Australian radar images completely blitzes
virtual memory - my GE crashes out at 1.5Gb VM!

I'm afraid I haven't got around to alphabetising or folderising the data but
I suppose everyone will have their own preference on how to do this anyway..


Note this works best on GE3. Issues with cacheing on GE4 beta 1 cause some
overlays to flash, I haven't tried GE4 beta 2 yet.

I like it!

Good work.
