Ghana Meteo gets automated weather stations
Meanwhile, as part of efforts to strengthen climate resilience and improve early warning systems in Ghana, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has handed over nine automated weather stations to the Ghana Meteorological Agency on May 6.
This is aimed at improving Ghana’s ability to respond to climate variability and extreme weather events such as floods and droughts.
The UNESCO Representative to Ghana, Edmond Moukala, noted that reliable meteorological data remains central to effective early warning systems and climate services, describing the weather stations as practical tools for prevention and preparedness.
The weather stations are expected to improve data availability across the country, support more accurate forecasts, and strengthen early warning systems.
The Ghana Meteorological Agency is the state institution mandated to provide reliable weather and climate services to support Ghana's socio-economic development, established by Act 682 of 2004 (amended by Act 1002 in 2019).
Based in East Legon, GMet provides efficient and reliable updates by collecting, processing, archiving, analysing and disseminating meteorological information.
