    Might as well just switch it off and leave it off at this stage. More of a nuisance than anything else now.

    Do other worldwide weather apps such as RainViewer or yr get their info from our dodgy Shannon radar because they often seem to have the same lack of rainfall as it,when outside the window it’s tipping down??

    Is it down again? We’ve had a lot of rain in Galway that didn’t appear on the radar.

    They're caused by mobile phone towers.

    Not 5g mobile phone towers? :eek:


    If so, then they must all be destroyed at once. Will someone please tell Gemma!

    No, really, it's a well-established fact. Here's a paper on it.

    "Radar Technicians". Two ould lads taking turns with a hammer is my guess the rate the thing actually works.

    interesting read :cool:


    just to add, it's not mobile phone operator's radio access networks (phone to base station), rather 5GHz wifi, wireless internet providers and point to point links...

    You know what time it is!!! It's time for the Shannon radar to go down before a yellow rainfall warning..

    I suspect they now turn it off before any significant rainfall arrives in case it gets overwhelmed due to it's fragile state. :)
