23 March World Meteorological Day
Every 23 March, the World Meteorological Organization commemorates the coming into force of the Convention establishing the World Meteorological Organization on 23 March 1950.
2023: “The Future of Weather, Climate and Water across Generations”
Our weather and climate and the water cycle know no national or political
boundaries. International cooperation is essential. This philosophy has
driven the work of the world’s meteorological community since 1873 and will
guide us as we translate science into services for society for present and
future generations.
World Meteorological Day 2023 takes place during WMO’s 150th anniversary. It
highlights past achievements, present progress and future potential – from
the late 19th century telegraphs and shipping forecasts to supercomputers
and space technology.
