We are now back in the observation room to check the weather with the weather monitor. How is the weather today and what is the forecast? The temperature is 1°C, the winds are 4m/s, and the pressure is 620hPa. Make sure to watch the weather all night because it can change quickly. Remember, since we are going to have observation in an environment that we normally would not be in, don't hesitate to ask for help if you are not feeling well.
