Brazil celebrates National Meteorologist Day

Brazil celebrates National Meteorologist Day on October 14, marking the anniversary of the profession's official regulation in 1980 via Law No. 6.835. The date distinguishes itself from the international observance on March 23, which commemorates the founding of the World Meteorological Organization.

Meteorologists play a critical role in supporting strategic sectors such as agriculture, aviation, energy generation, and civil defense. Professionals emphasize that their work relies on technical tools including weather stations, radars, satellites, and numerical models to transform probabilistic data into actionable information. The Brazilian Meteorological Society, founded in 1958, continues to drive scientific advancement in the country.
