This category and sub-categories follow the WMO convention of listing one site per country. Please post here only one site, maintained by a national government department, for a country which is not represented. Sites not in English belong in World/ under the appropriate language. There is a tendency for weather sites to state prominently that they use government data, but they turn out, on close examination, to be commercial sites. These sites belong in Regional/ under the relevant nation.

Meteorology is the branch of science which studies weather. It is often an inexact science, especially when forecasting is involved, so that predictions often are stated as a percentage of probability.

Listings here should concern the scientific practice of meteorology, information about weather events of historical interest, meteology as a hobby, and some instruments and products which either facilitate scientific meteorology or come from that background. Listings related to finding or reporting weather news should go to News: Weather.
