China sets up world’s highest automatic weather station

Chinese scientific researchers on Wednesday established an automatic meteorological monitoring station at an altitude of over 8,800 meters, the world’s highest of its kind, on Mount Qomolangma on the China-Nepal border, Xinhua News Agency reported.

It has replaced the station sitting at an altitude of 8,430 meters on the south side of the mountain, set up by British and U.S. scientists in 2019, to become the world’s highest, according to the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research (ITP), Chinese Academy of Sciences.
