January
20th, students visiting from Germany stopped by the National Weather
Service Forecast Office at Key West International Airport. The students
learned about the role of a local forecast office when hazardous weather
strikes, as well as the risks the Florida Keys face during hurricane
emergencies. We also showed some of the instruments and tools used
to detect dangerous weather, and how we use them to issue life-saving
warnings.
In return, we learned what services are provided by Germany's weather
service, known as Deutscher Wetterdienst, and about severe weather
which affects Germany. Germany is prone to flooding, winter weather,
strong damaging winds, hail and even tornadoes each year!
