Try here...

It isn't exactly an animation, but it does show a sequence of still radar
images at hourly intervals.

It used to update regularly, but recently there has been a delay for the
updates to come through.

Avbrief is free, I signed up and can access it without paying. Don't know if
this for a temporary/limited period only?

Occassionally, I download all the images and create an animated GIF using
these BBC images. It produces quite a nice and interesting loop.
Here is one I made a few weeks ago using the satellite images...
http://www.djmurphy.demon.co.uk/coin

At the moment, it is a manual task which takes me about 5 minutes. I hope
to have an automated method soon so that it can be updated automatically.

Does anybody know of a utility which can run in a command window (so that I
can make a little batch program) to create an animated GIF from a series of
still images?

Brendan
