World Meteorological Day
World Meteorological Day is celebrated to commemorate the establishment of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which was created in 1950.
The day is also observed to make people aware of their role in protecting Earth’s atmosphere.
World Meteorological Day 2023 takes the theme of the future of weather, climate and water across generations — urging us to live up to our responsibilities and ensure that future generations inherit a better tomorrow.
