As far as China is concerned, meteorological stations can accurately predict the location and intensity of natural disasters such as cold waves, typhoons and rainstorms, and can directly serve industrial and agricultural production and people's lives.

Weather forecast is based on meteorological observation data, applying the principles and methods of meteorology, dynamic meteorology and statistics to make a qualitative or quantitative forecast of the weather conditions in a certain area or a certain place in the future. This is an important goal of atmospheric science research. It is of great significance to people's lives.
