The importance of Radar in Central America

Leonaedo — Invalid Date

There are many places that you have to go and you need the current conditions, and radar is for that, because radar can help you to know the amount of rain that is currently falling,its intensity or if it is electric. Radars in the United States, South America, and Europe work perfectly, warning of large tropical storms, torrential storms that can give a great idea of what It's happening there, but there are places where tropical activity is quite affected, and this is Central America. In Central America, it is an area where there are more than 1,009 milliliters per year, and each Every year there are hurricanes passing through Central America, but the radar in that area does not work very well, torrential rains are falling and it barely indicates that there are 5.5 milliliters of rain, so at become tourist, like El Salvador, rainy conditions can greatly affect that area, and not only that country, but all of Central America, also these countries are the most directly affected due to rain, which lowers its economy, but it is necessary to improve the radar satellites in order to have a better current forecast of the intensity of rain when traveling from one point to another. The radar is very important, since we can currently know where we can find precipitation, and thus avoid accidents and mishaps.

Re: Be able to turn radar smoothing off
I am a retired meteorologist and live in the tornado belt. I subscribe to Weathertap for it's radar products which are exceptional. Weathertap radar is worth the price as it allow me to protect my home and loved ones around the country by providing a wide ranging list of products and capabilities in a timely manner. I have used the free version of windy for years and recently decide to start a subscription to find out if Windy had anything close to Weathertap, sadly it didn't. The subscription to Windy is, however, a good bargain and has many great features and the visualizations are very good and helpful. The visualizations pertaining to Radar with smoothing cannot depict a hook echo and radial velocity is necessary to pinpoint rotational anomalies. I would happily pay more for my subscription if it included weather ready radar, until then I will keep Weathertap and Windy. Thanks for the real time lightning it does help with spotting tornadoes, and thanks for the pretty pictures.
