Overview of the National Center for Meteorology

The meteorology sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia receives significant attention due to its pivotal role in supporting public safety, protecting lives and property, and contributing to sustainable development. In recognition of this importance, the National Center for Meteorology was established as an independent national entity tasked with advancing weather and climate services in accordance with international best practices. At the National Center for Meteorology, we operate with a clear vision focused on improving forecast accuracy, developing technical and technological capabilities, and enhancing the efficiency of our services to meet the needs of beneficiaries and support key development sectors across the Kingdom.

We believe that achieving leadership in this field requires investment in national talent and the expansion of effective partnerships with relevant stakeholders, the private sector, and national and international research institutions. These efforts contribute to building an advanced meteorological system aligned with national ambitions and the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.

With the help of Allah, we move toward a more distinguished future, guided by institutional excellence, innovation, and integration, while placing the national interest and beneficiary satisfaction at the forefront of our priorities.
