Why is there a saying that 5G communication will affect the weather forecast?

Take China as an example. According to Xin Xin, a meteorologist at the Meteorological Service Center of China Meteorological Bureau, the frequency bands currently used by Fengyun meteorological satellites in China are 137GHz and 1700GHz. Compared with the 2.6GHz to 4.9GHz of 5G signals, the gap is still obvious, and there will be no mutual interference for the time being.

The Global Association for Mobile Communications (GSMA) has also officially refuted the statement that the 5G system is unfavorable to other services such as weather forecasting.

GSMA said that 5G will definitely not affect the weather forecast, which is totally incredible. The 5G network and weather forecast service can be saved and used safely with other services using adjacent radio waves, such as weather sensing services, commercial satellites, radar and other applications. Never refuse 5G because it will affect the weather forecast.

In GSMA's view, 5G technology is a revolutionary network technology that can benefit the whole human society. The disseminator of this rumor may be a region or organization that opposes or is not good at 5G technology.

"This is just fake news. We can't let these threats stop us from getting huge social and economic benefits from the 5G network. We call on everyone to look only at the facts and not be attracted by misleading words. Grader, director of GSMA spectrum, said.

In this regard, some insiders pointed out that the news that "5G affects weather forecast" may be the performance of western related enterprises using media public opinion to put pressure on the government.
