Huge thermometer goes to World Expo

The world's tallest meteorological signal tower has been installed at the 2010 World Expo Park, giving real-time weather information to visitors.

The massive thermometer is located in the Puxi Expo Park along the Huangpu River and shows the current temperature as well as the highest and lowest temperature of the day every hour.

The 165-meter tower is made from a chimney in the 110-year-old Shanghai Nanshi Power Plant, Xinhua reported.

The tower top changes color during the night to show different weather conditions, white means sunny or cloudy and purple means rainy or snowy.

A meteorological observation station also provides weather service in the park.
