Bhubaneswar:23/12/24: The Ministry of Earth Sciences will install three new Doppler Weather Radars (DWRs) in Odisha to improve weather forecasting operations, as informed by the Director General of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Dr. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, on Monday.

The IMD organized a talk series to celebrate its 150th anniversary in the capital city on Monday. During the event, Dr. Mohapatra shared with the media that a total of 126 Doppler Weather Radars will be installed across India by 2026.
He emphasised the importance of visiting the MausamGram website and installing the Mausam mobile app, which provides weather forecasts. Users can enter the name of their locality or any other place to access the precise weather information, thanks to the system’s Geographical Information System (GIS). This is a recent development to improve weather forecasting.
