Geocache Description:

Access via Moorsley Road, Park opposite the post box and bus stop next to the bungalows named Valley View

Under the Weather – High Moorsley

High Moorsley is the site of the first weather radar system in the north-east, officially opened in July 2009.

The WEATHER radar for the North East can "read" the size of a raindrop or snowflake.
The radar at High Moorsley on the rural edge of Sunderland, will help protect the region against flooding and improve weather forecasts.
Northumbrian Water, the Met Office and the Environment Agency have invested more than £1m in the radar, whose dome rotates through 360 degrees, sending out microwave impulses.
These pulses “bounce” back to the radar from raindrops or snowflakes and provide information on the position, movement and intensity of rain or snow.
The picture is updated every five minutes and allows forecasts for six hours in advance. It is especially useful in identifying short, intense bursts of rain which often cause flash flooding and drain overflows, and which are likely to increase with climate change.
It is the first time the North East has had its own radar. Previously the region was covered in 5km squares by stations in Lancashire and Scotland.
The North East radar now gives improved and detailed coverage of 2km squares in Northumberland and 1km in Tyneside, Wearside and Teesside.

Many Thanks to Northumbrian Water for allowing permission for this Cache.
