India's Weather Department Upgrades Doppler Radars Nationwide Ahead of Winter
The Indian Meteorological Department has deployed advanced Doppler radar systems across the country to improve early detection of fog and temperature changes during the upcoming winter season.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced the upgrade of its Doppler radar network nationwide. The new high‑resolution radars are being installed to enhance weather forecasting capabilities ahead of the winter months.
The upgraded system will enable more accurate and earlier detection of fog formation and temperature fluctuations, which are critical for aviation, agriculture and public safety during the colder period.
IMD officials said the deployment of the advanced technology reflects a commitment to leveraging modern tools for better weather prediction and disaster preparedness across India.
The move is expected to improve warning times for fog‑related disruptions and help communities better plan for temperature extremes as the winter season approaches.
