Why do we need automatic weather stations when we have weather forecasts?

The people are dependent on food, and it is only when agriculture is developed that we can eat and drink without worry. The cornerstone of our country lies in agriculture, which depends on the sky for food, and there are many examples of agricultural losses due to meteorological factors. How can we prevent them?

Drought has a great impact on crops, and the lack of soil moisture makes crops lack water, resulting in short crops and reduced yields; there are also freezing disasters. Drought can still be watered and irrigated, but there are fewer measures that can be taken in case of low-temperature freezing, which is fine for greenhouses, but more "miserable" for open fields.

How to prevent the impact of these weather disasters on agriculture?

The weather forecast is accurate and timely, so that before the onset of the freeze, you will be ready to cover the crops with warmth or buckle up the greenhouse, etc. to resist the freeze.

Agricultural weather stations are more relevant as weather observation equipment that collects real-time changes in the weather environment within a local area. Many people wonder why they need to build automatic weather stations when they have weather forecasts. This is because compared to farmland, the weather forecast is too wide and too large, while automatic weather stations are only responsible for a few kilometers around the area, which is more accurate.
