This activity aims to provide field experience to students in understanding the concept and dynamics of weather and climate directly. The practicum which lasted for a week was carried out in strategic locations that have diverse meteorological and climatological characteristics. Students are accompanied by Geography Lab assistants in conducting various weather measurements and analysis. Some of the main aspects studied in this practicum include the measurement of air temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, and rainfall.

In addition, students also get the opportunity to practice the use of meteorological tools such as thermometers, barometers, anemometers, and hygrometers.
