China has effectively enhanced its meteorological monitoring and forecasting capabilities, officials announced. The coverage rate of the country’s weather radars has reached 43.6 percent at an altitude of one kilometer above the ground.
During a press conference on Thursday, Wang Yawei, head of the Emergency Disaster Reduction and Public Service Division under the China Meteorological Administration, revealed that the distance between meteorological observation stations in key flood control regions is now approximately eight kilometers.
The improvements in monitoring infrastructure are expected to strengthen China’s ability to predict and respond to weather-related disasters, contributing to better emergency management and public safety.
