    Southern California Edison recently installed its 125th weather station and plans to add hundreds across 50,000 square miles by the end of 2020, all part of its wildfire prevention program.

    The weather stations are fully operational in high fire risk areas in a state that now has wildfires year-round. They are being installed on utility poles and have various sensors that provide real-time weather data, including wind speed and wind gust, temperature, humidity and solar data every 10 minutes.

    The weather forecasting technology is part of a $582 million Grid Safety and Resiliency Program that SCE has proposed to the California Public Utilities Commission.
