Our little explorers embarked on an exciting journey to the Meteorological Services, where the fascinating world of weather forecasting came to life! It was a hands-on experience as they discovered the tools of the trade – thermometers, wind gauges, and rain collectors – used to track the elements that shape our daily forecasts.
