I didn't realise Radar might be able to help with finding a hole in cloud.
The help is actually totally dependent upon either another pilot or an adjacent airfield ATC unit who is able to report a hole (assuming the radar unit is socked in) ATC radars are not that great at weather detection since we process much of the clutter out so we can see the aircraft.
