iRAD 2025
(05 - 08 January 2025, IIG Navi Mumbai)
7th Conference on RADAR Meteorology
The first conference on India Radar Meteorology (iRAD), an initiative of the Ministry of Earth Science (MoES), was held successfully at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur during 08 - 11 January 2017. A series of iRAD conferences were successfully organized thereafter. To foster the growth in radar meteorology, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is hosting its 7ᵗʰ Conference of iRAD during 05 - 08 January 2025. The event also hosts a short-course on radar meteorology on 05 January 2025.

India Meteorological Department
India Meteorological Department (IMD) was established in 1875. It is the national nodal agency for the meteorological observations and forecast in India. The agency primarily carries out the following operations:
- Take meteorological observations and provide relevant information for the weather-sensitive activities such as agriculture, irrigation, shipping, aviation and offshore oil explorations in the country.
- Issue forecast and warning for severe weather phenomenon such as tropical cyclone, norwester, dust storm, heavy rain, snow, cold and heat waves.
- Provide meteorological information required for agriculture, water resource management, industries, oil exploration and other nation- building activities.
- Conduct and promote research in meteorology and allied disciplines.
Navi Mumbai
Navi Mumbai is a planned satellite city of Mumbai. The city has a
tropical monsoon climate. Unique attractions include Parsik Hill,
offering panoramic views, and Pandavkada Falls, ideal for picnics.
Visitors can explore the Karnala Bird Sanctuary, home to over 150 bird
species. Culinary delights include Bombil Fry and Vada Pav, Mumbai's
iconic street food.
Weather: Navi Mumbai offers the best weather in January with a dry and gentle breeze. With temperatures between 20° and 25°C, it offers pleasant weather for getting around throughout the day.
