Re: Flying ants seen on radar
We had flying ant day today ..... I was hoovering the inside of my car (nothing else to do
) and my daughter turned up with a bunch of flowers. So I dropped everything and we went inside.Thank gawd she came! When she was leaving I went back to finish the car and noted all the flying ants.... eeeek! I got some on my back.
I hate the things... (shivers), so hot footed it back into the house, shut all the windows and there I stayed until a couple of hours later!

Re: Flying ants seen on radar
That is an interesting effect. Occasionally locusts do show up on radar in the right conditionsOur weather radar has shown some things that were definitely not rain. For example dust storms show up as does bush fire smoke. Over Christmas and new year smoke was constantly on the radar
Another anomaly is high seas, for example the recent east coast low created 11 metre waves which were picked up by the weather radar. they are very easy to pick though as they pop on and off the radar and move in a way rain never would.
Another problem with weather radar is that it shows rain that evaporates before it reaches the ground. It is annoying to be right under what looks like good rain only to be as dry as.
