The National Center of Meteorology called on community members not to pay attention to weather forecasts and temperature monitoring through people and unofficial bodies, stressing that these measurements are done randomly and with unapproved devices, and then they mislead the community through the wrong prediction, and leave traces.

In detail, the National Center of Meteorology emphasized that the process of monitoring and measuring air temperatures is not simple, and it cannot be underestimated or randomly dealt with at all, stressing that any measurement error will result in a wrong prediction, which may cause the fabrication of climatic characteristics different from the reality of geographical areas. Thus, climate records fail to explain the climate phenomena for each region separately, according to their location in the world, otherwise there would not be a global description on which climate processes, aircraft paths, and other related matters are measured.

The center told «Emirates Today» that the least problems with random temperature monitoring and measurement are the rumors and confusion that are based on false warnings according to random individual or self-monitoring, which is usually misleading, explaining that the real problems appear in affecting the movement of people and the movement of travel and aviation.

From any proportions of errors.

He said: “There are two daily temperature measurements, the first is the maximum temperature, and it is done through a (mercury) thermometer after the end of the day’s peak, between the hours of noon to five or six in the evening, while the second measurement is related to the lowest temperature, and it is through an alcohol balance. The minimum temperatures are monitored throughout the night, provided that the last reading at the beginning of the sunrise is approved, because the temperatures begin to rise, ”noting that the two measurements are observed in the shade.

The center explained that the standards adopted for measuring temperatures require the thermometer to be placed in a place that reflects sunlight and is well ventilated internally and contains external ventilation holes designed to isolate direct air, while the height approved for all meteorological places is two meters from the surface of the ground, so that the reading is correct According to international standards, without any errors, especially in light of relying on natural thermometers.
