Real-time accumulated rainfall map of Tasmania

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

A statewide grid surface (80m spatial resolution) delineating recent accumulated rainfall (millimetres since 9am) across Tasmania is produced in near real-time. The outputs are dynamic with maps updated at hourly intervals (there is a production time lag where outputs typically take 30 minutes to be produced from the true observation time). Refer to the following link for details of the latest map updates: https://sdi.tas-hires-weather.cloud.edu.au/shiny/ Map outputs are based on records produced from Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Automatic Weather Station and Rain Gauge sites, in addition to Tasmanian government rain gauge and thrid party weather station sites. For operational real-time application, the mapping was fully automated in the R programming language and hosted on a cloud-based computing platform - via the high performance computing cluster provided by the Tasmanian Partnership of Advanced Computing (TPAC) of the University of Tasmania.
