Meteorology has been studied for thousands of years. However, it was only since the 18th century that significant progress has been made in meteorology. Thanks to computers and satellites in the 20th century, the accuracy of weather predictions has greatly improved. Before the use of computers, forecasting the weather relied heavily on historical data. We even used astrology at one time to predict the weather.
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.
World Meteorological Day 2023 will focus on the theme, ‘The Future of Weather, Climate and Water across Generations’.
