A weather station to educate children about climate change was opened near a lake at Singanallur here Tuesday.
The 300-acre-lake was declared as a biodiversity conservation zone by the City Corporation two years ago on this day.
Apart from normal monitoring of weather conditions, the station will help educate students about climate change.
It will study 10 parameters such as air temperature, humidity, solar radiation, evaporation, rainfall, wind velocity, wind direction and rainfall, official sources said.
The station set up by the Corporation and Centre for Urban Biodiversity Conservation and Education, an environmental organisation, was inaugurated by district collector K Rajamani.
