Generally speaking, forecasters need to graduate from meteorology. At present, there are three schools involved in meteorology in China, namely Chengqi (Chengdu University of Information Science and Technology), Nanqi (Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology) and Kongqi (School of Meteorology, PLA University of Science and Technology). It is more difficult to be a forecaster if you are not a professional.

Professional knowledge: synoptic dynamics, synoptic introduction, calculus, atmospheric physics, statistics, meteorological observation basis, weather map analysis, cloud map, radar echo analysis, numerical forecast basis, etc.

There are also requirements for computer proficiency and foreign language proficiency.
