The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is an independent intergovernmental organization that provides weather forecasts and climate data. Established in 1975, it focuses on medium-range weather forecasting, typically covering a period of up to 15 days ahead. ECMWF uses advanced computer models and satellite data to produce accurate predictions. In addition to weather forecasting, ECMWF plays a significant role in climate research and monitoring. It collaborates with various international organizations and contributes to global initiatives, such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), to improve understanding of climate change and its impacts on the environment.
