Minister of Water, Environment and Climate Change, Hon. Matthew Samuda, says the commissioning of the Meteorological (Met) Service of Jamaica’s new S-band Doppler weather radar station at Coopers Hill, St. Andrew, represents a significant investment in the country’s capacity to prepare for and respond to increasingly extreme weather events.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony on October 28, Mr. Samuda said the technology, supported by advanced forecasting systems and climate-related knowledge products, will enhance decision-making across several critical sectors, including agriculture, transportation, national security, and water management.
