A weather balloon is an instrument which measures temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. The weather balloon is generally a balloon mounted with weather measuring equipments and a radio transmitter. Some weather balloons are equipped with GPS or global positioning systems for the weather station to track it more accurately. It will continue to measure weather data until it pops due to diminished air pressure at high altitudes.
