Among the 19 national meteorological agency websites, china’s weather network ranks 13th in the global meteorological website, and 5th in the national meteorological agency website. The top three meteorological sites in the country/region are the norwegian meteorological institute, the new zealand meteorological service, and the australian meteorological service. Weather. Com is ahead of both global and national rankings, and is the most influential weather site in the united states and worldwide。
The impact of the private weather company website is high
In most countries, users are also primarily concerned with the websites of national meteorological agencies. However, in countries where commercial meteorological services are better developed, such as the united states, japan and europe, the websites of private meteorological agencies are of high interest. Among the major meteorological sites in the united states and japan, private weather sites in the united states, represented by the weather company and accuweather, are significantly more influential than national meteorological agency websites in the united states; while the japan meteorological agency website is more advanced in the global ranking, users in japan prefer the japan meteorological association website。
Our situation is different. As can be seen from two websites of the china meteorological administration, one for taiwan, four for hong kong, china, a joint site for regional meteorological agencies and two for meteorological companies, the websites of meteorological agencies are the main sources of information and services for our users, and commercial meteorological companies providing meteorological services through web pages are currently less influential than meteorological agencies。
The weather service can do a lot with mobile phone applications
It is noteworthy that alexa's ranking by author does not contain statistics on mobile phone applications and may therefore differ from real data。
The widespread use of smartphones has dramatically changed access to public information. In the case of hong kong observatory of china, for example, since 2012, the total number of data visits has increased year by year, mostly due to rapid growth in mobile phone applications, while website visits have begun to decline。
The meteorological information services available on meteorological websites are increasingly important for modern societies. Meteorological websites and related mobile phone applications have now become the most convenient and rapid meteorological information service platform。
The development and improvement of our meteorological web site is an urgent matter under intense competitive pressure from private meteorological companies. The meteorological services must continuously improve their meteorological websites and their applications to make them more scientific and sophisticated。
