Weather career stories | People in weather and climate Radar factsheet A weather radar measures the location and intensity of precipitation - including rain, hail and snow - in real time. The Met Office’s network consists of 15 weather radars across the UK, providing information to help monitor

droplets. At some point these droplets may get large enough that they fall from the sky, and depending on the conditions we may see hail, rain, sleet or snow falling from the clouds. When this rain, sleet or snow reaches the surface, many things can happen. The water may flow into rivers, oceans
