World Meteorological Day 2024

March 23, 2024

Each year on March 23rd, World Meteorological Day is celebrated to commemorate the establishment of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) which is a specialized agency formed by the United Nations. The day recognizes the vital role of the organization in advancing global efforts in weather, climate, and water management.
The theme for World Meteorological Day 2024 is “At the Frontline of Climate Action.”
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) was established in March 1950, becoming a specialized agency of the United Nations in 1951. This marked a significant shift towards international cooperation in meteorology, hydrology, and related sciences.
WMO has 193 members, including 187 member states and 6 territories, maintaining their own meteorological services.s
