Scenic Weather Station: Bridging the Gap between Tourist Enjoyment and Scenic Resource Conservation

In today's booming tourism industry, the installation of scenic weather stations in scenic areas has become a crucial measure to enhance the level of operation management and the tourist experience.

From the perspective of enhancing the tourist experience, the weather warning function of the scenic weather station is of great importance. It can monitor various types of severe weather in real time. For example, in mountainous scenic areas, with its monitoring of lightning, it can issue warnings to tourists through multiple channels when a thunderstorm is approaching, guiding them to safe lightning shelters and effectively avoiding the risk of being struck by lightning. The rainfall prediction also enables the scenic area and tourists to make preparations in advance. The scenic area can deploy drainage facilities in advance, while tourists can prepare rain gear or adjust their routes to stay away from areas with water accumulation and landslide hazards. In addition, the data on temperature, humidity, wind direction, etc. provided by the scenic weather station can also help tourists optimize their travel route planning. Tourists can choose more pleasant routes accordingly. Tourists in seaside scenic areas can decide whether to take a stroll along the coast based on the wind direction and force. The ornamental value of each scenic spot varies under different weather conditions, and the meteorological information can help tourists visit the best viewing spots in suitable weather, thus having a better touring experience.

In terms of the management and protection of scenic area resources, the scenic weather station also plays an indispensable role. The data on temperature, humidity, and precipitation monitored by it are of great significance for the growth of vegetation and the maintenance of the ecosystem in the scenic area. During droughts, based on the data from the scenic weather station, the scenic area can carry out artificial irrigation to protect rare plants. Before the arrival of extreme weather, the warnings from the meteorological station can enable the scenic area to reinforce ancient and famous trees and prune branches in advance to reduce the damage caused by wind and snow and maintain the ecological balance. For the facilities in the scenic area, the meteorological station can also ensure their maintenance and safe operation. The humidity data can guide the moisture-proof treatment of wooden buildings, prolonging their lifespan. The safe operation of amusement facilities in severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rain also depends on the wind speed and rainfall monitoring of the meteorological station. Once the weather conditions exceed the limits, the scenic area can suspend the operation of the facilities in a timely manner to prevent safety accidents.
