Why do you want to put white balloons when the typhoon strikes?

In the past two days, the No.9 typhoon "Lichima" is also gradually strengthening, and now it is moving to Zhejiang Province, and the forecast will continue to strengthen. Many cities affected by typhoons are also trying to implement some typhoon safety measures. Recently, the photos of a group of meteorologists have also attracted people's attention. What does the typhoon weather ball do? Let's see.

The reporter came to the scene of the Meteorological Bureau to see that in the evening, several meteorological workers were carrying giant balloons on rainy days, running desperately against the wind and feeding the big balloons. People pay attention to balloons in typhoon days. Many people don't know why. In stormy weather, such dangerous behavior puzzles many people.

In fact, we also know that the balloons put by the staff are sounding balls, mainly for meteorologists to detect the temperature, pressure, humidity, wind direction and wind speed at high altitude. The Meteorological Bureau also requires that sounding balls should be released on time and accurately within the specified time every year, especially in typhoon days.

So we saw the staff running barefoot in the rainstorm with a big white balloon, so that we could broadcast the weather forecast timely and accurately and take more accurate preventive measures against some natural disasters in time. Seeing this situation, I pay tribute to these staff on behalf of everyone. They also paid a lot for our safety.
