Forest weather stations fire warning to be done

In natural scenic spots such as forest parks, we may see some equipment which are weather stations. The function of forest weather stations is fire prevention and early warning.

Equipped with advanced sensors, these weather stations are able to monitor in real time a wide range of meteorological elements closely related to the occurrence of forest fires, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation. By analysing these data, the forest fire risk level can be predicted and timely warnings can be issued to the management authorities so that appropriate preventive measures can be taken.

For example, when the forecast indicates that unfavourable weather conditions such as high temperature, low humidity and strong winds will occur in the coming period of time, the weather station can remind managers to step up their inspection efforts and restrict or prohibit activities that may cause fires, such as barbecuing in the field and burning of rubbish. At the same time, weather stations can also monitor rainfall to help managers understand soil moisture, which is equally important for assessing the fire vulnerability of forests.

Data from weather stations can also help develop scientific forest management strategies. By collecting and analysing meteorological data over a long period of time, it is possible to grasp the pattern of forest fires and provide a basis for formulating fire prevention plans and emergency response mechanisms. With the assistance of forest fire risk weather forecasting and monitoring stations, forest resources can be protected more effectively and losses caused by natural disasters can be reduced.

Weather stations are also combined with video monitoring systems to form a more comprehensive forest fire monitoring network. Such a network can not only monitor meteorological conditions in real time, but can also detect fire spots and smoke in a timely manner through image recognition technology, enabling early detection and early treatment.
