The national weather service already launches > 180 weather balloons PER DAY.


That sounded way too high to me. Turned out… That number is way too low.

From your source it’s pretty’s exact, for the US.

> Twice a day, every day of the year, weather balloons are released simultaneously from almost 900 locations worldwide! This includes 92 released by the National Weather Service in the US and its territories.


Apparently the real number is 184?
