He stressed the interest of the political leadership and the government in meteorological services and their keenness to develop these services.
For his part, the President of the Aviation Authority explained that despite the good level of the National Center of Meteorology in providing its services, it does not meet the ambitions required by the location of Yemen in terms of geography, area, and climatic diversity.
