World Meteorological Day 2023: Significance
Due to climate change, weather, climate, and water extremes are becoming more recurrent and intense in various parts of the world. We are exposed to several related hazards which are evolving as a result of population growth, urbanisation, and environmental degradation. Impact-based forecasts inform people of what the weather will do and are important to save lives and livelihoods. It is said that one in three people are still not adequately covered by early warning systems.
Therefore, coordination between national meteorological and hydrological services, disaster management authorities, and development agencies is important for better prevention, preparedness, and response. Therefore, being prepared and acting at the right time at the right place plays a crucial role in saving lives and protecting the livelihoods of communities everywhere, both now and in the future.
