The Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services (DCCMS) in Malawi plays a pivotal role in supporting the agriculture sector, which is a cornerstone of the nation's economy. By integrating agrometeorological services, DCCMS offers invaluable resources for the agricultural community. These services include the issuance of the 10-day weather and agrometeorological bulletins during the crucial rainy season from October through April, which aids in national early warning systems and food security efforts. Furthermore, DCCMS contributes to crop weather insurance, offering a layer of financial protection against weather-related risks. The department also provides guidance on crop protection and management, irrigation techniques, and climate risk management, all vital for sustainable agriculture practices. Additionally, DCCMS customizes its offerings with tailored products such as specific forecasts and advisories to meet the unique needs of agricultural users. Through partnerships with government departments, ministries like the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Development, and both local and international NGOs including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), DCCMS ensures its agrometeorological services are comprehensive and impactful, directly supporting the enhancement and expansion of agricultural production in Malawi.
