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”.
