Arab Weather - Since 1970 and coinciding with the decision issued by the Council of the League of Arab States at the ministerial level to establish the Permanent Arab Meteorological Committee, all meteorological departments in the Arab countries have been celebrating Arab Meteorological Day, so what do we know about this day?

 

When is Arab Meteorological Day?

Answer: Meteorological facilities in Arab countries celebrate September 15 of each year as Arab Meteorological Day.

 

 

What is the goal behind the establishment of the Permanent Arab Meteorological Committee coinciding with the celebration of Arab Meteorological Day?

 

The aim of establishing the Permanent Arab Meteorological Committee is to unify efforts and objectives in the vital scientific field, out of belief in the vital role that meteorology plays in various areas of life, especially in the fields of air and sea navigation, land transport and various economic activities, and to unify the efforts of meteorological facilities that began their activities in Many Arab countries for more than a century.

Also, every year, a specific slogan is chosen through which meteorological facilities communicate on this day with media outlets and other relevant sectors to raise awareness and highlight meteorological efforts in keeping pace with the weather phenomena the world is witnessing.

 

What is the slogan of Arab Meteorological Day this year?

"Weather, climate and food security"

Under this slogan, the celebration of Arab Meteorological Day aims to enhance the role of weather and climate and its relationship to food security around the world. Whereas climate change and the extreme weather conditions it causes, such as heat waves, frost, and drought, clearly affect food security through the damage it causes to agricultural crops, the decrease in expected quantities of agricultural production, and the impact on livestock; Which leads to an increase in the prices of some crops, the emergence of agricultural pests and insects, and a decrease in animal production. Due to the lack of agricultural areas and the pressure on water sources.

Hence the goal of the slogan, which is to enhance food security by confronting the challenges of climate change and the scarcity of water resources by adopting a number of strategies and methods that can help achieve food security around the world.
