Old Buckenham radar tower

More accurate rainfall prediction

Here is an update provided by the Met Office on the East Anglia Radar project. The installation of the tower along Abbey Road aims to provide better data to go on their weather radar site. 

The main works contract (for the construction of the radar tower and communications cabin) has been awarded to Brody Forbes Ltd with the main phase of construction expected to start on site in May this year. Some site clearance has already been carried out at the Anglian Water Drilling Yard on Abbey Road and, in advance of the main works, the project team are progressing with some infrastructure work (power and communications) on site. The tower top install of the radar parts is planned for the autumn of this year with a period of testing and commissioning before the radar becomes fully operational in the early summer of 2026.
