The Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services (DCCMS), with support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) under the ARCS project, organised a specialised training programme aimed at strengthening the Department’s capacity in numerical weather prediction and enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasts. The training was held in Zomba from 14th to 18th July 2025 and brought together DCCMS meteorologists from across the country. Participants were trained in weather modelling, data analysis, visualisation, and the practical use of forecasting tools, contributing to DCCMS’s broader objective of delivering reliable, climate-informed weather messages to support community preparedness and resilience.
