Weather warnings a success
TRIAL projects making use of weather data to trigger early warnings have been a success in Yangpu and Xuhui districts, according to Shanghai Meteorological Bureau.
In Yangpu, where waterlogging in rainy days has been a headache, early warnings have allowed authorities to take precautions to prevent roads being flooded.
“We have changed from simply making weather forecast to predicting possible impacts in bad weather,” said Feng Lei, the city weather bureau’s deputy director. “It’s important to take precautions rather than remedies.”
Xuhui District is connecting weather data into its big data platform, having data from weather, traffic and grassroots information shared and accessible to different departments.
The trials, still ongoing, are expected to be expanded to other districts, he said.
The bureau has more than 200 weather monitoring spots.
