Re: Radar at landfall

It took a long time to figure out the actual location that large image was creating data from. The English version of that site does not have anything but closeup radar of Beijing. I had to navigate the Chinese version of the site and find that radar image which took forever. I finally realized I could look at the Chinese abbreviation on that image for the radar site and compare that to the very long list of drop down menus that had radar data. I found the matching symbols and pulled up the radar image.

Google Translate helped and you can read their site then, although then you get JavaScript popups and things don't work as well:

When using Google Translate I could not properly navigate to the Chinese radar imagery around Hong Kong.

I had actually been able to create an English version of the radar page:

However the imagery it creates has a quality poorer than the Chinese version. It doesn't make sense why that would be like that, but it is. That is why I linked the Chinese version.
