Bethune Radar

[sumdumguy]

So.... Does anyone know, what’s the deal with that radar?

New equipment coming. Some kind of temporary radar set up. Not always available

Regarding the new equipment online at Radisson. It really has to be adjusted. It is showing precip when there is none. Useless

Radisson went offline. I feel better already...

Thought it was all new last year ! must be Chinese junk!

Agree 💯, Radison radar is a joke .

Like 101 says...radar shows we are supposed to be getting rain at the moment...no rain hitting the ground here. Is the distance perception off or is it just that ****ed up?

The way you guys talk about the upgraded Radisson station....it doesnt give much hope for better service when Bethune gets upgraded.

Oh...I spoke too soon...its spitting here now!

[farmaholic]

Ooooo.

[SASKFARMER]

No No No it’s fake radar. Nothing but odd drop

I have found the Radisson radar quite accurate. The first year it was upgraded it had a lot of clutter but that seems ok now. Nothing new though to see the clouds disappear as they get closer to my farm.

Ooooo.

6 drops is a rain event these days.

[sawfly1]

101 you are absolutely right
Supposed storm passed right over me on radar. 2 days ago

Showed blue/green rain , not a drop made it to the ground.
Anywhere around.

Probably a good thing .
Because , if it shows a storm somewhere else.
We can assume they never got any
Either.

Recently, there have been articles in the news of how 5G telecommunications could interrupt climate patterns, and that*weather forecast models could become confused since the 5G frequencies mimic water vapor which would then make it very challenging for an average weather model to detect which signal in the atmosphere is normal and which one is artificial. Fortunately, we*at AFC have a way around this, but it could complicate things moving forward as we see more conflicts in modeling, especially since rainfall patterns could be affected by the 5G frequencies at the electromagnetic level. In the news, NOAA and other agencies*are meeting with government leaders to discuss this problem.

I doubt it'll get worse. When you're wrong 90% off the time, only political polling has a worse track record

Just going to say the US and China have been working with weather modification for a few decades ....
