1. A system for generating a weather map, comprising:
at least one mobile device comprising at least one sensor, wherein the mobile device is configured to:
move to predetermined first locations within an environment; and
obtain, by using the sensor, first weather data indicative of a weather condition at each of the first locations; and
a data processing circuitry configured to:
generate a weather map including a probability distribution of weather conditions between the first locations by applying a predetermined weather model to the first weather data; and
determine, from the weather map, one or more second locations within the environment where the probability distribution is below a predefined threshold;
wherein the mobile device is further configured to:
move to the second locations; and
obtain, by using the sensor, second weather data indicative of a weather condition at each of the second locations for increasing a confidence of the weather map using the second weather data.
