The World Weather Information Service (WWIS) website (http://worldweather.wmo.int) is the first and the only one global website presenting OFFICIAL weather observations, weather forecasts and climatological information for selected cities provided by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) worldwide. WWIS aims to provide authoritative and reliable weather information of NMHSs around the world to all internet users and media.
