What did the weather forecast do for us?

Weather forecast has made great contributions to the development of many social and economic sectors and people's lives.

For example:

(1) government departments need to take measures in advance for possible disasters such as rainstorm, gale, hail and typhoon according to the meteorological forecast and early warning information provided by the meteorological department, so as to minimize the losses caused by disasters to people's lives and property.

(2) Meteorological information plays a key role in water conservancy, electric power, civil aviation, transportation and other departments.

(3) Meteorological forecast and early warning information system and public meteorological information service are a kind of "public welfare" social infrastructure, which can provide high-quality meteorological information service for people's life or production.

(4) Meteorological information is an important economic resource. According to the research of relevant departments, if enterprises can effectively use meteorological information, their economic benefits will be significantly improved. For example, refrigerator and air conditioner manufacturers can make production and sales plans according to the relationship between temperature change and sales increase or decrease.
