在上海世博園風(fēng)景如畫的黃浦江邊，一根碩大的溫度計巍然矗立，隨時給浦江兩岸的世博園區(qū)“量體溫”，入夜時分光芒四射、美不勝收，吸引了許多游客拍照留影。這根長達165米的溫度計堪稱世界最大的溫度計，同時也是全球最高的氣象信號塔。溫度計位于浦西世博園的城市最佳實踐區(qū)，在溫度計醒目的紅色刻度上，清晰顯示了園區(qū)的實況溫度。塔頂顯示屏上，攝氏和華氏溫度轉(zhuǎn)換顯示，每小時正點顯示園區(qū)當(dāng)天的最高最低溫度。到了晚上，塔頂光芒四射的燈光根據(jù)天氣情況開啟“白色”或“紫色”。白色表示“好天氣”（晴天、多云或陰天）；紫色表示“壞天氣”（下雨或下雪）。如果有災(zāi)害性天氣來臨，塔身屏幕還將顯示相應(yīng)災(zāi)害天氣預(yù)警圖案。
