Climate

The Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) provides vital climate information and products to support planning, decision-making, and risk management across all sectors of society. Our Team of experts analyzes historical data and current climate trends, hence helping users understand climate variability and change, and their potential impacts on agriculture, health, water resources, energy, infrastructure, and more.

Our services include tailored seasonal forecasts, agro-climatic advisories, climate outlooks, and specialized products for early warning systems. We work closely with stakeholders at national and local levels to ensure that climate information is accessible, relevant, and actionable.

Through its climate services, ZMD plays a key role in building climate resilience and supporting Zambia’s sustainable development goals in the face of a changing climate.
