The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an agency of the United Nations, established World Meteorological Day in 1961. The primary function of the WMO is to publish information on the status of the world’s climate and to monitor climate changes. They chose March 23rd as it was on this date in 1950 that the WMO was formed. Every year, the WMO chooses a new theme to celebrate the day. Recent themes include:
