Meteorological tower Brdy, Weather monitoring facility in Nepomuk, Czech Republic.

The Meteorological Tower Brdy stands on Praga, the second-highest summit of the Brdy range, at 860 m above sea level. The reinforced-concrete structure, 56 m tall including the radar, was built in 1999 to replace the obsolete Libuš weather tower. It carries a weather radar, a television transmitter and a radio repeater; a gallery at 916 m gives a circular view of the Šumava, Krušné hory and Krkonoše mountains in clear weather.

The tower was built in 1999 and represented an advance in weather monitoring for the Czech Republic. Since its completion, it has contributed to regional atmospheric observation and media broadcasting services.

The tower's radar is one of two in the ČHMÚ network, alongside the Skalky radar in Moravia; together they cover the whole of Bohemia. Its measurements every five minutes feed the national precipitation maps, and the 2015 Vaisala WRM200 replacement was largely funded by the European Union.

The tower is visible from outside and stands out in the landscape around Nepomuk. Visitors can photograph the structure from various angles and understand its technical role from a distance.

The radar's maximum range of 256 km covers the whole of Bohemia, and its signal is emitted in short pulses at 5630 MHz. Measurements are taken every 5 minutes, and digital processing produces precipitation maps with a spatial resolution of 1 km. Since 2015 the site has used a Vaisala WRM200 radar, largely financed by the European Union.
