India Meteorological Department

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is the national organization responsible for weather forecasting, monitoring climate, and providing timely warnings about natural hazards like cyclones, heavy rains, and heatwaves. It collects data from satellites, radars, and weather stations across India to analyze atmospheric conditions. IMD's forecasts help protect lives, agriculture, and infrastructure by informing government actions and public awareness. It is governed by the Ministry of Earth Sciences and plays a crucial role in managing the country's vulnerability to climate and weather-related events through scientific research and communication.
