Kim Jong-un is not happy with North Korean forecasters, who are apparently predicting the weather incorrectly. He has made it a point to improve the local livelihood and economy in North Korea, and this seems to be an issue he has chosen to tackle as part of this vision.
He is striving for more modern day equipment to help out the local Meteorologist. The following is an excerpt taken from The National Post:
“Many people around the world grumble about inaccurate weather forecasts, but North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is doing something about it.
Kim, the third generation of his family to rule, is using his position atop the authoritarian country to warn meteorologists against the “many incorrect forecasts” caused by old observation systems.
It remains to be seen whether Kim’s field guidance trip to the state-run Hydro-Meteorological Service, reported by state media Tuesday, will lead to more accurate weather predictions. But it was a rare official acknowledgment by proud but impoverished North Korea of its struggles with outdated technology.”
This is very interesting considering past leaders of this nation haven’t been necessarily “concerned” with the advancement and well being of its citizens. Could this be a sign of better things to come? Check out the entire article for more information.
