The Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services (DCCMS) hosts a specialized training program titled “Communication Skills for Meteorologists.” The training equips meteorologists with practical tools to effectively communicate weather and climate information to diverse audiences, including the media, policymakers, and the general public. Through interactive sessions, participants sharpen their ability to simplify technical language, improve public speaking, and tailor messages for different stakeholders. This initiative forms part of DCCMS’s ongoing efforts to enhance the accessibility and impact of weather and climate services in Malawi. By strengthening communication skills, meteorologists improve their ability to support informed decision-making, promote public safety, and raise awareness of climate-related issues. The training represents a crucial step in bridging the gap between science and society, ensuring that forecasts and warnings are not only accurate but also clearly understood and actionable.
