WMO's new extra uses of smartphones and technology
In a world where almost everyone owns a smartphone, weather apps are useful in various reasons, as observed from WMO. With climate change, we expect to see a rise in number of extreme events, frequency of floods and droughts, and more sectorial impacts. Through apps, people and communities will be prepared for various events before and during occurrences.
Additionally, WMO international weather apps awards offers a platform to build and showcase programs that are useful in this 'climate change' giant the world is trying to tackle.
The current generation thus has a chance to display their creativity in addressing climate issues that the previous generations caused.
Would it not be great to be our own small gods :-)
