More about the
webcam images
The Met Office webcam network is currently being upgraded
to utilise the latest low-light cameras to deliver usable
imagery in very low-light conditions. See an example of
moonlight
at Trawscoed.
Clicking on a camera site displayed on the map will open
up a page displaying the most recent images available from
that site, and the latest observations of temperature, pressure,
visibility, wind and weather (if available). If you have
viewed the page before it may be necessary to hold down
the SHIFT key whilst clicking the reload/refresh button
on your browser in order to obtain the most up to date series.
Click on the graph icon at the bottom of the page to see
time-series graphs of observation data for the last 24 hours.

The cameras are programmed to scan every 30 minutes and record
images every 52°. Scans are made at elevations of 0°, 45°, and
90° - thus a series of images, covering the celestial dome, is
collected.
Hyperlinks are set at 51°, 154°, 206° and 309° on the thumbnail
presentation which, when selected, open up a 156° 'sector' of
the globe.
The field of view of each camera is approximately 60° and overlaps
between thumbnail images are apparent - hence, it is possible
for the same area to be visible in possibly four adjoining images.
For this reason the series of thumbnails should strictly be considered
as an index, rather than a panorama.
Clicking on any of the thumbnails will enlarge that image for
closer scrutiny.
