Upcoming World Meteorological Day Themes
WMO Executive Council has selected the following themes for the upcoming celebrations of World Meteorological Days...
Every Drop Counts
Water use has been increasing worldwide by about 1% per year since the 1980s. Growing populations, more water-intensive patterns of growth, increasing rainfall variability, and pollution are combining in many places to put even more pressure on water availability and quality, threatening sustainable development, ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide.
Climate Change and Water
Climate change is causing the hydrological cycle to speed up as rising temperatures increase the rate of evaporation. More evaporation is causing more precipitation, on average. Higher evaporation and precipitation rates are not evenly distributed around the world. Some areas may experience heavier than normal precipitation, and other areas may become prone to droughts, as the traditional locations of rain belts and deserts shift in response to a changing climate.
Floods
Floods are the deadliest natural hazards, striking numerous regions in the world each year. During the last decades the trend in flood damages has been growing exponentially. This is a consequence of the increasing frequency of heavy precipitation, changes in upstream land-use and a continuously increasing concentration of population and assets in flood prone areas. This is often exacerbated by inadequate flood planning and management practices.

Drought
It has a major impact on food security, health and population displacement and migration. Since time immemorial, drought has been a feature of the natural variability of our climate. But...
Frozen Water
The cryosphere – or frozen water – is hit hard by climate change. Glaciers are retreating, snow and ice are melting and permafrost is thawing. This translates into a short-term increase in landslides, avalanches and floods and a long-term threat to the security of water supplies for billions of people.
Count Every Drop
Effective flood and drought policies can be implemented only with data and models for assessing the frequency and magnitude of extreme events. Progress towards goals such as improving water use...
