Theodoros Kolyda wrote that if the weather radar in Souda was functioning normally and its image was available, it would not change the evolution of the bad weather, but it would improve its monitoring, the operational picture, and the information for citizens. He stated that due to the intense terrain of Crete and the orographic enhancement of the rain, few ground stations and numerical models were not enough to capture the evolution of the rain cores. He publicly requested an explanation for the interruption of the radar image transmission, the reason it was not available, and when it would be restored. According to him, timely and quality meteorological updates on extreme weather phenomena constituted a pillar of civil protection infrastructure. https://t.co/zrIlMLJvic #Κρήτη #καιρός #μετεωρολογία (translated)
