World Meteorological Day 2010
60 years of service for your safety and well-being

23 March 2010

Each year, on 23 March, the World Meteorological Organization, its 188 Members and the worldwide meteorological community celebrate World Meteorological Day around a chosen theme. This day commemorates the entry into force, on that date in 1950, of the WMO Convention creating the Organization. Subsequently, in 1951, WMO was designated a specialized agency of the United Nations System.

This year, the theme is “60 years of service for your safety and well-being”.


As an annual event, the Department of Meteorology will be commemorated the World Meteorological Day on the 23rd March 2010 at the premises of head office.
