The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced the setting up of the first ‘Thunderstorm Research Testbed’ of the country in Balasore, Odisha.
This initiative aims to study thunderstorms and lightning in detail to improve forecasting and early warning systems, particularly relevant for eastern India which is prone to such events.
The testbed is being established in collaboration with the Ministry of Earth Sciences, IMD, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Balasore was chosen due to its high frequency of thunderstorm occurrences.
