One of the stations has been installed in the Cradle Valley, and a second has been placed near the Davey River.
The stations will allow for better real-time observations of weather events affecting planned fuel reduction burns, and bushfire events.
HIGH TECH: The weather observation stations have been installed in the world heritage area and will improve the observations for the PWS during fire events.
A Parks and Wildlife Service spokesperson said weather intelligence during fire events will be "dramatically improved".
"The up-to-date data will reduce the reliance on forecast predictions based on data gathered further afield at Low Rocky Point and Scotts Peak," the spokesperson said.
The new stations will also help keep the state's firefighters safe.
