The Department of Science and Technology–Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (DOST-PAGASA) on Friday marked a major step in the country’s weather modernization program with the launch of two key infrastructure projects in Iloilo.
The agency inaugurated the Iloilo S-Band Radar Facility and held the groundbreaking of a new synoptic station.
The radar facility, which is equipped with a state-of-the-art dual-polarimetric Doppler system, will improve weather monitoring across Western Visayas, PAGASA said.
It will provide high-resolution, real-time data essential for tracking heavy rainfall, severe storms, and tropical cyclones.
