Welcome to the Commission for Basic Systems (CBS) Open Programme Area Group (OPAG) on Public Weather Services (PWS). The purpose of the WMO Public Weather Services Programme (PWSP) is to strengthen the capacities and skills of WMO Members to meet the needs of the users they serve through delivery of comprehensive weather services, with a particular emphasis on public safety and welfare, and to foster a better understanding by the public of the capabilities of their respective National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs), and how best to use the services that NMHSs deliver.
