The South Asia Heat and Health Hub is here!
South Asian countries are among the most vulnerable to extreme heat. In the region, the hub aims to deliver:
🚨 clearer alerts
🕜 safer work hours
🍃 timely cooling actions
📜 strengthened policy advice
& more.

From tributes to observers to local events, new weather stations, dazzling light shows, exhibitions, cultural moments, and a book launch—celebrations were as engaged as the communities behind them.
Thank you for being part of #WorldMetDay!
Across continents, #WorldMetDay brought together meteorological organizations, partners, youth, and communities to celebrate the people and science behind weather, climate, and water observations that help protect us today and into the future.
From Geneva to Antarctica & across the ocean, this year’s #WorldMetDay brought the theme 'Observing Today, Protecting Tomorrow' to life through voices from around the 🌍. The event also featured the launch of #StateOfClimate 2025.
