Doppler radar going off-line this week for repairs
(CNS): The Kearney Gomez Doppler Weather Radar will be down for scheduled maintenance beginning on Wednesday, 15 January, the Cayman Islands National Weather Service (CINWS) has said. The beleaguered radar will undergo repairs recommended by the technicians who completed maintenance checks just last month, officials said.
During the repair process, which is expected to last three days, the radar will periodically be taken offline, rendering radar images unavailable to the public, a common occurrence over the years.

“Scheduled” maintenance. Not as in planned, annual maintenance irrespective of whether there is a problem, but planned in that they have decided to shut it down to fix a known problem, rather than it just breaking down. Even though its less than a month since the last repair. Scheduling its up time would be far more impressive!
can someone please explain what this has ever done to help cayman and what information can it provide that is not already issued by outlets like NHC???
Who even uses this anyhow?
Ah, the Kearney Gomez Doppler Radar: proving once again that even high-tech equipment needs its beauty sleep, though it seems to be napping more than working. Fingers crossed for a miraculous recovery this time!
I wonder what Kearney thinks having his name attached to this as useless as tits on a boar hog Doppler radar embarrassment.
just demolish….the thing is bad expensive joke on the people of cayman and in the modern age, serves little purpose.
With better weather tracking services in the US, do we actually need to rely on this one here in Cayman ?
nope. but in woke culture honesty goes out the window.
Weather radars are woke now?
nope..but honesty is.
This thing is offline more than it’s online!
Welcome come to Cayman…
And we are paying for it! When are we going to say enough is enough?
It was only out in early December for maintenance. And out again now. Is it ever working?
