High-tech Doppler Weather Radar (DWR), which would give prior information on climatic conditions and rainfall, is less likely to be installed here this monsoon by the Meteorological Department (Met). The Met had decided to install the radar post July 26, 2005 deluge in the metropolis.

Although Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has issued a directive to get the new radar up and running by June 30, RV Sharma, Deputy Director General, IMD Mumbai, said, "A few officials from a Chinese company would come here to install the equipment soon. However, we do not have any details as to when they are coming."
