   Why are weather radars important?

   • Weather radars are really important. They are the only means available for measuring the location and intensity of precipitation in real time. Data is used directly by meteorologists, the people who observe and forecast the weather, and is fed into forecast models, helping keep people safe right across the UK and beyond.

   What is the difference between radar maps and heat spots?

   • Radar maps show rain and snow detected in real-time. Data is provided by . Coverage is limited and may show glitches/anomalies. The heat spots overlay shows points of very high temperature detected by satellite. Detections are updated daily (not live) with data from NASA LANCE Interactive world weather map. Track hurricanes, cyclones, storms.

   How are radars maintained?

   • Radars are usually maintained by field service engineers, who will spend some of their time working at a field service centre, as well as visiting Met Ofice HQ. Field service centres are workshops where all sorts of weather observing equipment can be built, fixed and maintained.

   Is Doppler radar used for weather radar?

   • Doppler radar has not always been used for weather radar. Doppler radar came into common use when the Weather Surveillance Radar – 1988 Doppler radar (WSR-88D) was installed in place of the Weather Surveillance Radar – 1974 (WSR-74) and Weather Surveillance Radar – 1957 (WSR-57) radars that were in place until the early 1990s.
