As climate action takes centre stage, Geography students of 240 schools in the State are set to record daily changes in weather conditions for better understanding of microclimatic variations and collect data for in-depth analysis.
Weather stations will be set up in 240 schools as part of a Samagra Shiksha, Kerala project included in the Chief Minister’s 100-day action plan.
Higher secondary and vocational higher secondary students who study geography as part of the Humanities stream will record minimum and maximum daily temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction as part of their practicals. This attempt at experiential learning will see them use equipment such as rain gauge, thermometers, wet-and-dry-bulb thermometers, wind vane, and cup counter anemometer.
