National Meteorology Agency

The National Meteorology Agency (NMA) of Ethiopia, headquartered in Addis Ababa, plays a vital role in monitoring, analyzing, and forecasting the country’s weather and climate. As the official body responsible for meteorological services, the agency provides essential data and forecasts that support agriculture, aviation, construction, disaster management, and everyday life across Ethiopia.

With Ethiopia’s climate ranging from highland regions to arid lowlands, accurate meteorological information is crucial for both economic and social stability. The NMA collects and interprets data through a nationwide network of observation stations, satellite imagery, and advanced forecasting systems. This information is shared with government agencies, businesses, and the public to aid in decision-making and risk management.

Beyond forecasting, the National Meteorology Agency also engages in research, training, and public awareness campaigns to enhance understanding of climate change and its impact on Ethiopia. It cooperates with international meteorological organizations to ensure global standards and collaborations in weather science.

While listed under multiple categories, its primary focus remains on weather and climate services. The NMA is a cornerstone institution in Ethiopia, helping safeguard lives, livelihoods, and sustainable development through timely and reliable meteorological information.
