European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is a specialized research organization that provides weather forecasts and climate data for Europe and beyond. Founded in 1975, it focuses on predicting weather patterns from around 3 to 15 days ahead. ECMWF uses advanced computer models and global data to create detailed forecasts, contributing to better weather prediction, climate analysis, and emergency response. It also collaborates with national meteorological services, helping countries make informed decisions related to weather impacts on agriculture, transportation, and public safety, thereby enhancing societal resilience to weather events.
