Utilizing Seasonal Climate Forecasts to Become Climate Change Resilient
Public and private sector stakeholders joined in on the second virtual session of the National Climate Outlook Forum hosted in Belize. During this, the ninth of its kind, it was further established that the role of the National Meteorological Services goes beyond forecasting weather patterns. It provides early warning services used by various sectors to mitigate any negative impact of the changing climate. News Five’s Duane Moody attended the virtual session and files this report.

The role of the National Meteorologist Services of Belize is not just to bring you the daily weather forecast, but it helps with building resiliency by keeping you on your toes and prepared in the event of a storm. But that information is not only for you to protect your homes from inclement weather; it is data on the ever-changing climate that is used by farmers and construction workers or even fishers to enhance their effectiveness to earn their keep.
