New Doppler Radars for NSW
28th February 2019
The NSW Government has just announced funding for the construction and operation of three new Doppler Radar Weather Stations.
The funding is estimated at $24.4 million, with the new dopplers being situated in the Brewarrina, Parkes and Hillston-Ivanhoe regions of New South Wales.
Their placement is said to fill gaps in existing radar and weather coverage which is approximately 230,000 square kilometres in size.
With this extra coverage, the NSW Government is aiming to give those in Western and Far Western NSW, such as farmers, rural communities and emergency services more accurate and faster weather information.
For more information on the dopplers, or to find out more about what they do, please visit the NSW Government website.
