U.S. Weather Bureau

The U.S. Weather Bureau, established in 1890, was a government agency responsible for collecting meteorological data, providing weather forecasts, and issuing warnings about severe weather. Its mission was to enhance public safety and promote agricultural development by delivering accurate weather information. In 1970, the Weather Bureau became part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which continues to monitor and report on weather and climate, aiming to protect lives and property through informed decision-making and preparedness. Today, NOAA operates as a key resource for understanding and predicting weather patterns in the United States.
