The General Directorate of Meteorology received international recognition from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), for “having maintained in service for over 100 years the weather station of Agadir-Inzegane,” at the end of the 73rd session of the Executive Council of the WMO.
According to a statement by the WMO, the Agadir Inzegane station was established in 1921, and since then the station has been monitoring the evolution of various main atmospheric elements on a regular basis.
This station is located inside Agadir Inzegane Airport, south of Agadir, 4 kilometers from the Atlantic coast.
The data issued by the Agadir-Inzegane station meets the needs of the various socio-economic sectors by providing useful information, such as the dissemination of climate rates and statistics.
This recognition aims to promote good practices and highlight the efforts of meteorological observers of the DGM as well as their contribution to the protection of people and property through the observation of the atmosphere, watch and weather vigilance, according to a statement from MAP.
Commissioned in 1921, the Agadir-Inzegane station was rewarded with a certificate of international recognition as a centennial observing station after successfully completing the process of analysis, validation and evaluation of information presented by the DGM to the group of experts of the WMO in charge of the recognition process.
The Casablanca Anfa meteorological station established in 1911 was also recognized by the World Meteorological Organization in June 2018 as an observing station over a century old.
