In order to address climate change and lower the danger of natural disasters, Pakistan’s first smart weather portal was launched.
By offering sophisticated weather forecasting and monitoring capabilities, the portal—which was created in conjunction with Pak Weather, Karachi Weather Updates, and Linked Things—aims to protect people and property.
In Karachi, a ceremony marked the debut of the Smart Weather Portal. The event, which took place in a nearby hotel, drew a lot of notable people.
Tauseef Alam, the nation’s former chief meteorologist, as well as meteorologists Owais Haider, Faizan Khan, Sofia Hasnain, Najaf Haider, Malik Mudassar, Ansar Hashmi, Muhammad Haseeb, Naila Zaryab, and Syed Zeeshan, were also present during the ceremony.
The importance and usefulness of meteorology and environmental research have increased in light of climate change, according to delegates at the inaugural ceremony, who complimented the Smart Weather Portal.
They noted how crucial weather monitoring had become to both daily life and business.
They are sure that Pakistan, and Karachi in particular, will benefit greatly from the Smart Weather Portal.
As part of the Smart Weather Portal, more than 20 air quality monitors have been placed and turned on throughout Karachi.
These tools will make it easier to keep an eye on the city’s air quality. 16 contemporary weather stations have also been placed throughout Karachi.
In the near future, tens of thousands of identical devices are anticipated to be installed all throughout the nation.
By addressing climate change and lowering the likelihood of natural disasters, this cutting-edge technology will ultimately safeguard individuals’ lives and property.
A web-based program or platform that offers users weather data and forecasts is a type of weather portal.
It typically provides a variety of features and services, including the most recent weather data, predictions for the short- and long-term, alerts and notifications, and historical information.
Additionally, some smart weather portals provide extra capabilities like interactive maps and the capacity to follow particular weather occurrences or conditions.
