It's difficult to remember a time before modern technologies when we didn't have access to weather forecasts. You had to study wind patterns for weeks to determine whether you required a light sweater or a rain jacket instead of having a five-day prediction directly on your weather app. For this reason, we honor the World Meteorological Organization on March 23. This global organization gathers data from all around the globe to improve our understanding of the weather and how it affects our daily lives.
Past events and current affairs
The International Meteorological Organization was superseded on March 23, 1950, by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a United Nations agency. It started operating in 1951 with the goal of coordinating member nations' efforts in the domains of Earth sciences, operational hydrology, and meteorology for the population's safety. On March 23, 1961, the inaugural World Meteorological Day was observed.
Global Meteorological Day: Background and Importance
The World Meteorological Organization Convention was ratified on March 23, 1950, and it was designated as a specialized organization of the United Nations in 1951 for the study of meteorology, operation hydrology, and associated geophysical sciences. From then on, World Meteorological Organization has been commemorating the day annually with various themes.
Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, with a particular emphasis on weather observations, predictions, and warning systems. To protect lives, the environment, sustainable development, and international cooperation, among other things, the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services is essential in this regard. They also play a crucial role in establishing these observations, carrying out activities, and observing and understanding the weather.
The World Meteorological Organization's work is crucial for the provision of food, security, water resources, and transportation, in addition to its significant impact on the environment and public safety.
World Meteorological Day is the ideal opportunity to raise awareness of the changing climate, according to the WMO. Nevertheless, the Earth's average temperature has increased by more than 100 degrees Celsius in the past 150 years due to the greenhouse gas' ability to trap heat. As time goes on, sea levels rise, the oceans become warmer and more acidic, and glaciers and ice melt, all contributing to increasingly severe weather conditions.
The moment has come to reduce emissions in light of the significant changes and ensure that future generations live in a better environment with more understanding of the environment and weather.
Theme for World Meteorological Day in 2024
"At the Frontline of Climate Action" is the subject for World Meteorological Day in 2024, according to the WMO website. Following Sustainable Development Goal 13, which calls for "urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts," it has been established.
According to the WMO website, the theme for World Meteorological Day in 2024 is "At the Frontline of Climate Action". It has been formed in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 13, which demands "urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts."
History of World Meteorological Day in 2024
Founded in March 1950, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) was elevated to the status of a specialized body within the United Nations in 1951. This signaled a dramatic change in the direction of global cooperation in the sciences of hydrology, meteorology, and related fields.
Its foundation was discussed starting in the mid-1930s since meteorology was becoming more and more important. Formal approval was delayed by World War II, despite initial progress. Increased post-war efforts resulted in the creation of the WMO.
The organization's main priorities include worldwide weather challenges, research, education, and standards.
The topic for World Meteorological Day in 2024 is "At the Frontline of Climate Action," reflecting the awareness of the existential threat that climate change poses to our civilization, with its effects already being seen and potentially catastrophic repercussions if action is not taken soon.

The Snake-Worshipping, Fur-Wearing Woman Who Made Alexander Great
What do you know about the mother of Alexander the Great? It's not a trick question. The woman who gave birth to one of history's military greats has been much obscured by the long, dark shadow of history. Short of a few awkward caricatures in film, little has been brought into focus about the infamous Olympias of Molossia.

The Queen of Cushites
It was long ago so long ago many people forgot. Many people did not remember the past decades because of all the conflict that happened. Many people did not know about the conspiracy that my mother and her family had done in Egypt. I did not know much because mother and father kept it a secret. My parents were together as long as I remember. And I knew they were destined to be forever as long as they lived. I was just a child when my mother married my father. My mother would speak about her past every now and then but lead up to nothing. My father covered her a lot when I was growing up. I grew up to know mainly Cush language but also I knew bits and pieces of Egyptian to speak to my mother. My mother was native to the Cush language. As prince of Cush since my grandfather died a decade ago, my parents were appointed to rule the land. And they ruled with grace and dignity, my mother was very wise much wiser than my father. I just thought because she was from a nobler family and just happened to went to a learning place, school, or had good education. Mother won the love and respect of the Cush people. And father delighted in her presence and he would try to never say anything bad about her. They had their issues but father never stop telling her that he love her and he would die for her. My parents were in love as any young couple and they showed respect for each other as they were watched by the entire kingdom. It so happened that Cush made a truce with Egypt. Cush was very rich and Egypt was somewhat rich. And the Pharaoh that had known mother had died in battle and his son took his place and the Court forced him to marry one of the past Kings of Egypt's daughter. This new Pharaoh at once wanted to meet the King and Queen of Cush at the border to show the truce was real. And mother and father dressed young and arrayed. And the Pharaoh was pleased at seeing the King and Queen of Cush but his wife the Queen was not that pleased however she pretended to be happy and show courtesy. And Pharaoh who was thrilled at the beauty of mother asked to speak to them over dinner. So they cooked the traditional meal at the border and met in the tent of friendship. Pharaoh insisted that mother talk about herself and just before mother could say too much. Father excused her from further dealings and he used it for his advantage to secure economic ties. And Pharaoh sought cattle and sheep as well as plenty of grain of Egypt. Pharaoh finally ended the meeting after saying that mother brought comfort after his father died during battle and his mother died after heartbreak. It happened that after sometime after I mature and had to seek a wife. Pharaoh was interested in me marrying one of his relatives. And mother was wrought and father tried to calm her down. Mother would not let it go and she was demanding an end to the treaty. She said My son will never be Egyptian and he will never go back to Egypt and I don't care what that Pharaoh says. And father let her go because she was hot-temper and angry. And my father sought all the servants out and he told me to come to the throne with his scepter. And he explained to me the real story about how I was born and he said my mother's real name is Seros. And i felt angry and upset but i waited to questioned mother until she was not hot-tempered. Pharaoh received the news and he was wrought and his wife encouraged pursuit. His wife talked about how her father's murder was his wife who could not bear and how her mother should have been Queen to save him but the Court refused a concubine on the throne. His wife tricked and deceived him into demanding that my mother and father and I come to Egypt which I was told by one of mother's servants. Mother had still some connections to Egypt that she did not tell father but I found after father told me the real story. And my father sought a nasty forward to the Pharaoh threatening to cut all ties with him. Pharaoh secretly declared war on Cush within days of receiving that message from the King of Cush. And mother had her spies to tell her and she prepared me to leave to Ethiopia. And I told mother that I knew everything and that I love her. And mother sought me away. To stall the Egyptian troops she said I killed that Pharaoh. I am Seros. He was a terrible man and he lied to me. And I will never go back to Egypt. And the Egyptian troops begin sabotaging and terrorizing our nation and I knew mother and father were gone and I was all that was left of the family. And so I left to Ethiopia and did just what my mother did left my home country to start over again but this time not with royalty just with a fair villager.
