The First Unified AWS Network Transforming KP’s Climate Monitoring
Automating Weather Intelligence in KP’s Merged Districts
How CDigital Deployed Modern Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) to Transform Climate Monitoring Across Khyber, Mohmand & Bajaur
About The Client
The FATA Water Resources Development Project (FWRDP), under the Planning & Development Department of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is mandated to strengthen water and climate resilience across the newly merged districts — some of Pakistan’s most underserved and climate-vulnerable regions. With rising weather extremes and limited institutional capacity, the region required a modern meteorological backbone to support disaster preparedness, agriculture, flood forecasting, and long-term climate planning. FWRDP partnered with CDigital to establish the first automated weather monitoring network in Khyber, Mohmand, and Bajaur — moving the region from manual observations to real-time, scientific weather intelligence.
Challenge
The merged districts had no automated meteorological infrastructure, leaving authorities blind to rapidly changing weather patterns. Climate monitoring relied heavily on manual readings that were often delayed, inconsistent, and prone to human error. Without digital sensors, forecasting systems, or real-time visibility into rainfall, storms, temperature spikes, or humidity levels, the region lacked the data needed for agricultural advisories, flood preparedness, and emergency response. Limited institutional capacity and the absence of a unified data platform further weakened planning and coordination. This lack of reliable weather intelligence left communities highly vulnerable to climate shocks and operational uncertainty.
