The odd thing is if one has used the top URL to see the radar images and
then gone to the radar via the bottom URL, the images do load. But if you
go straight to the bottom URL they don't. Confusing me that is:-)

... to be fair to them, the development of that site (a huge network of
interlinked pages, services etc.) is being done gradually rather than as
a 'big bang' event. The changes come from developments relating to
policy re-direction which in themselves haven't been finalised yet. It
wasn't too many years ago and we did not have access to *any* radar
imagery in this country, subscription or otherwise.

"Work in progress" and although I agree it is frustrating, I think we're
going to see the benefits before long ;-)

I've had no problems with any of the various URLs or browsers, it's
puzzling. Maybe a O/S related issue ?

Many thanks for the pointers and comments Martin, as you say, - to be fair to
them' :)
Very sensible to do it in little bits so that it's all done well rather than
in one fell swoop and then have to fix it...!

You are of course correct about the radar, and it's not too long ago that we
didn't even have the internet to look at the images, let alone being on
broadband !!

Where's it all gonna end I ask myself... Don't think it is gonna end but you
know what I mean....

Same here, I tried the "problem" url first, then the other one. Both
worked fine in IE 6 and NIS, Win XP. I don't have Service Pack 2
installed however, and Windows Firewall is disabled so it might be
related to that if the original poster does have SP2 installed.

I like the radar imagery link (and others) being clearly visible on
the Met Office homepage these days. Nice.
