Lucknow, Jun 18 (IANS): The Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU) here in the Uttar Pradesh capital has launched its own automatic weather station that would provide round-the-clock weather forecasts, an official said.

With this, the BBAU became the first university in the country to have its own weather station that would forecast not only for the state capital but also for the entire country.
