You can now expect to get more accurate weather forecasts or even get timely weather disaster warnings for different parts of the country. This is because the National Centre for Hydrology and Meteorology, which gives out weather predictions, has been equipped with a calibration laboratory and a weather studio along with the latest technological gadgets. All these facilities were acquired through the JICA’s Technical Cooperation Project for the capacity development of GLOF, rainstorm flood forecasting and early warnings.

The country’s weather is predicted using data from weather stations spread across the country. Although the weather forecasts will continue to be done so in the same way, the data used is expected to be more accurate. This is because the weather data collection devices will be adjusted or calibrated to collect more precise data through the calibration laboratory.

According to an official, the calibrations are done in accordance with the standards of the World Meteorological Organization.

“So, it has been calibrated from there and we are going to use this as a standard calibration for calibrating the other equipment that we are using right now. And of course, this will have very good in terms of having reliable and also accurate weather observations across the country,” said Tayba Budhha Tamang, Project Manager of JICA TCP Phase II Project.

Likewise, the weather forecasting studio will be used by the NCHM to create videos that will disseminate weather information and advisories to the public effectively.

“There will be more information in terms of satellite observation images and also the house you know focus icons and the products that can be explained by the weather forecaster in detail. So, it will be more kind of resourceful and also, there will be more information compared to the past where we just flash out the temperature and the outlook,” said Tayba Budhha Tamang.

Under the second phase of the project, the NCHM also constructed four synoptic weather stations that can study weather conditions on a large scale.

The second phase of the project ends next year.
