I'm no weather expert, but because you've got a regular pattern around the radar (the circle) that really shouldn't appear in a normal weather condition, the beam may be getting grounded due to local conditions - see beam ducting.
The lil notch on the right is looks like it might be showing incomplete, conflicting, or out of bounds data. The site's map legend may have a decoder for that pattern.

A little area on the bottom right is definitely out of bounds area. It's right where the Indian exclusive economic zone ends. You can see its shape matches exactly on following map:

Good bot.
Do we not have AMP bot anymore?
I dunno, I know it was a thing on Reddit, I don't think I've ever seen it over here. Maybe Google bonked them.
That tracks, thanks!
