Bangalore: The weather instruments installed at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) have developed a glitch.
Officials of the Indian Meteorological Department stumbled upon the snag while conducting a routine check-up of the instruments last month.
The officials noticed errors in the readings obtained from the weather instruments. Now, the IMD has decided to rope in a team of experts from Pune to diagnose the error and fix it.
The department conducts routine checks of all instruments every six months. This time, during inspection, the officials found shortcomings in weather readings. Though the IMD officials call it a routine maintenance activity, it has caught the attention because of the location - KIA Met Park.
Officials point out that there have been cases in the past when instruments have recorded faulty readings and have been replaced. But this is the first time that such a thing has happened at the KIA.
The IMD officials found that there were fluctuations in weather readings, the maximum and minimum temperatures varied by over a degree Celsius. Also variations in the wind speed were noticed.
