Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, June 3 (KCNA) -- The Central Meteorological Institute of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has directed many efforts to ensuring a scientific accuracy in weather-cast for the growth of farm crops. The institute has made a comprehensive analysis of atmospheric circulation materials recorded throughout the country for nearly 20 years and established the most proper method of confirming the annual forecast. As a result, it has considerably raised the accuracy of weathercast.
    The institute, in close contact with scientists of the Academy of Agricultural Science, sees to it that the farms across the country have taken thorough agro-technical measures and measures to prevent damage by blights and harmful insects in accordance with the meteorological climate.
    And it informs the farms of ever-changing weather timely while constantly improving the weather forecasting method and content.
    Researchers have included the rate of sunshine in the forecast and established one-month and three-month forecasting systems according to the change of seasons and thus supported the efforts for increased agricultural production in a scientific and technological way.
