Automated airport weather station

An automated airport weather station is like a little machine that sits at the airport and collects information about the weather. It uses special sensors to measure things like temperature, wind speed and direction, rainfall, and air pressure.

Imagine you have a robot friend who goes outside every hour to see how hot or cold it is, how fast the wind is blowing, and whether it's raining or not. The robot writes all this information down on a piece of paper and then goes back inside to tell you what it found. That's what an automated airport weather station does, except it doesn't have arms and legs like a robot.

This information is really important for pilots, because they need to know what kind of weather conditions they'll be flying into. For example, if it's really windy, the pilot might need to adjust the plane's speed or route to make sure they get to their destination safely.

So, think of the automated airport weather station as a little machine friend that helps make sure everyone is safe and knows what to expect when they fly.
