The world today, more than ever, is at a greater risk of natural calamities. Air quality is poor. The atmosphere is warming. We have started feeling the impact. Warming atmosphere does not just affect air temperature. Heat waves are common and intense. Rainstorms are getting stronger causing floods, occasionally. In tough times like these, meteorologists constantly ensure public safety and well-being.
World Meteorological Day is marked every year on March 23 to recognise their efforts and services. On this day, let us know it’s significance.
