∙ 15y agoWeather balloons are equipped with sensors that make measurements of the wind, temperature, pressure, humidity, and other conditions in the upper atmosphere for weather forecasting and scientific purposes. The collected information is automatically transmitted by radio to meteorological stations in many locations around the world.

∙ 13y agothey use weather balloons so the balloons can go up into the stratosphere, ( one of the layers of the atmosphere ) that people cant reallysurvive up there with out protection ( plane , helicopter , etc...) and when the balloon is in the stratosphere you can easily read weather patterns .
hope i helped!
