Weather TALK [forecasts, etc]

Thats for the Doppler radars. But PAGASA monitoring stations are present in every major city and town, in addition to being present in every airport. Windspeeds and weather conditions at every altitude is important for planes and to get that they send off weather balloons.

Not all of them are transmitting their hourly METAR observations longline. There are six stations reporting right now. So, that's better than the three I saw last time.

The weather balloons are normally sent every 12 hours (1200z and 0000z). They're great for plotting Skew-T graphs and initializing/verifying weather forecast models.
