In line with the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) guidelines and its commitment to strengthening partnerships, capacity building, and knowledge transfer among Members, the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) is organizing a regional training workshop on seasonal forecasting in collaboration with the UK Met Office. The workshop forms part of the WISER MENA programme, which aims to advance regional capabilities in climate services and enhance climate resilience across the Middle East and North Africa.
The training will be held from 7 to 11 December 2025 and will bring together UK meteorological experts and 34 trainees from 14 Arab countries: Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Mauritania, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates. Several experts from EMA will also contribute to the sessions. As the first foundational seasonal forecasting course under the WISER MENA SeaSCAPE project-developed jointly with EMA-the workshop marks an important step in strengthening forecasting competencies across the region.
