Each year on March 23, the World Meteorological Organization, along with its 191 members — including the National Weather Service — and the worldwide meteorological community, celebrates World Meteorological Day. This day commemorates the formation of the WMO. This year’s theme is “Climate knowledge for climate action,” highlighting both recent advances in climate science and the need for decisive measures to limit climate change.
Over the last twelve months, thousands of lives have been saved around the world by improved weather forecasting, early-warning systems and disaster readiness. The economic benefits of climate services such as seasonal outlooks have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
