Weather radar damaged in EBBR ?

Post by Yoyoman »

Hello Luchtzak members,

Yesterday (June 28th) I discovered that at 16 hours 60' the weather radar stopped to send images of rainfalls.
At that exact moment : 16 hours and 60' a thunderstorm crossed Zaventem.

I'm curious if it would be lightning or severe hail that would have struck this radar. It does not seem a coincidence that the radar stopped to work EXACTLY when that thunderstorm crossed Zaventem. Can anyone confirm what I suspect ?

Addiotional note edited :Today we are July 4th and still no images !

Updated info : July 5th : The radar is BACK but the question remains : What happened ?
