They will provide micro-level data, enabling citizens, authorities to plan activities better. The disaster management department of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to add 60 automatic weather stations to the 60 that already exist in the city
A BMC official said, “The National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR) had suggested installing 97 additional automatic weather stations, which will help one obtain local weather data, mainly rainfall. In 37 places it is not possible to set up stations due to technical reasons. Some places have swampy land and other sites have security issues. So we settled on 60 places.”
