Weather monitoring system with Japanese technology and water level sensor were installed by MJTD since June 2017. Weather monitoring system was installed at Thilawa SEZ and water level senor for surface water (Yangon River) was installed at terminal port of Myanmar International Terminal Thilawa Limited (MITT).

Weather monitoring systems provides total seven parameters information of wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, air pressure, temperature, humidity and water levels in the Thilawa area. Hourly data transmission will also provide real-time observation for   forecast verification and weather monitoring. All these systems are to help disaster risk reduction (DRR) which is needed to   minimize the human damage and economic losses, to maximize the effectiveness of economic development and investment and to   protect the safety and security of people’s lives. Calculating and analyzing the data provides early warning to prepare for the   negative impact of extreme weather and natural disasters, including the need for a potential evacuation.

 

 

The data is being transmitted to a Cloud web server, permitting the data to be observed by users wherever they are through the internet, ensuring observation even from a mobile phone.
