The Meteorological Department employs specialized weather balloons, known as advanced balloon science, for accurate weather forecasting. These balloons, exceeding five feet in size and weighing 700 grams, are equipped with modern technology sensors. Capable of ascending up to 36-40 km in the sky, these balloons provide valuable information, although they break due to the thin air at such altitudes. The insights gained from these balloons are also crucial for aviation purposes.
