Meteorological officials prepare for timely Games weather predictions
Meteorological departments in Beijing and Hebei province have prepared enhanced weather services to support the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Zhang Zuqiang, spokesman for China Meteorological Administration, said on Wednesday.
To provide a variety of weather forecasts for the Games, the departments have built 42 meteorological stations at the venues in downtown Beijing, Beijing's Yanqing district and co-host city Zhangjiakou in Hebei province.
Intensive observations in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou were conducted in the winters of 2017 and 2018 to better grasp micro-scale weather conditions in mountain areas hosting skiing events.
