AWS will provide IMD officials with data on weather parameters at 15-minute intervals
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) hopes to install 87 more automatic weather stations (AWSs) in the region before the 2022 southwest monsoon.
Of this, 85 will be in Kerala, and one each in Mahe and Amini Divi. Of the 85 stations for Kerala, around 10 would be installed in Idukki district alone, said IMD officials.
The AWS will provide the IMD officials with data on weather parameters, including temperature, rainfall, wind and atmospheric pressure, at 15-minute intervals. The devices are expected to arrive in the State shortly.
