How do weather observers work?

People who are going to travel must watch the weather forecast on time every day. Is it cold outside today? Is it hot? What should I wear? Do you want to take an umbrella? Are there many questions before going out? I wonder if these questions will be the first time to pick up the phone or turn on the TV to watch today's weather, when it will rain and so on. These questions can be obtained from today's weather forecast, so what are the secrets of unknown weather observers behind these weather forecasts?

In winter, the temperature is changeable. In a very cold place like the northeast of China, the temperature is around 30 degrees below zero. In order to get the most accurate weather news at the first time, meteorologists are not afraid of the cold and use hydrogen balloons and radar to measure. It is very dangerous in the whole process of detecting weather. In many cases, balloons are squeezed and deformed, which has a great influence on observers. Because of the high altitude, it is easy to be blown away by the wind, and the risk factor is very large.

Located in the northernmost weather station in China, Arctic Village Weather Station. This is the coldest place in China, and the weather observers here are more difficult than those in other places. In winter, the temperature is generally MINUS 50 or 60 degrees. What concept is equivalent to putting your hand outside, as if it had been pricked by a needle. Any longer, it will freeze and crack. The observer's hands are frozen wounds.

Meteorological observers should protect their observation equipment with their own hands every time, because these equipment are very expensive and fragile, and it is really unimaginable "pain" with bare hands.

It's really difficult for meteorologists. In order to convey the trend of meteorological changes to us in time and let us know the local temperature for the first time, we still stick to our posts in extremely cold and bad weather. This fearless spirit is very touching and worth learning.

Look at these observers who insist on special posts every day, and then think about our work. Sitting in the office every day, writing documents and sorting out information is neither cold in winter nor hot in summer. Every time there are many tasks, we often complain, think more about them, and learn this fearless spirit like them. We should be satisfied.

Sincere respect to the workers who insist on working in the meteorological front line that challenges the limit of life! This is the real special industry and special type of work. I have worked in high altitude and cold areas for decades. It is their selfless dedication and dedication that allows us to get the latest weather news without leaving home.
