Rutgers Study
As per a Rutgers study, Upcoming 5G technology will come up with the fastest cell phone service but may provide inaccurate weather forecasts.
For people who like to keep a regular check on the weather, updates may face an issue with the new signal. As per the new studies radiation, ‘leakage ‘ from the 5G network may throw off weather satellites reporting a poor forecast.

Author Narayan B. Mandayam of Rutgers University, says we made use of computer modeling to determine how 5G leakage would change the forecast for the 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak in the Midwest. This leakage takes place when radiation from a transmitter delves into a fellow radio frequency band.
Findings show that 5G frequencies could leak into the same band that weather sensors utilize to calculate water vaporous in the earth’s surroundings. Meteorologists make use of this knowledge to forecast the rain and temperature. The computer model depicted that if 5G signals are leaked in between -15 to -20 decibel watt of power then most likely they will drop the weather readings. If leakage takes place on a greater level then the accuracy of rain forecasts can measure until 0.9 millimeters and surface temperatures by 2.34 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fifth-generation cellular wireless technology (5G) utilizes higher frequencies to develop efficient mobile communication. This technology is intended to revolutionize both the internet and telecommunication services. It offers extensive options, and these include larger bandwidth and greater frequency that are up to millimeters (MMW band).
Conclusion
5G technologies will be widely available to many people across the globe in the coming 2-3 years. The meteorology side needs to develop better ways to accommodate this current leakage. Many advanced features need to be utilized in this regard, these include antenna technology, dynamic reallocation of spectrum resources, and complex weather forecasting algorithms to overcome 5G leakage.
