The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) (Urdu: محکمہ موسمیات پاکستان, also known as Pakistan Met Office[3][4]), is an autonomous and independent institution tasked with providing weather forecasts and public warnings concerning weather for protection, safety and general information.[1]
Apart from meteorology, it is also involved in monitoring as well as investigating weather phenomenons, astronomical events, hydrology and research in astrophysics, climate changes and studies on aeronautical engineering, renewable energy resources across various parts of the country.[1] Headquartered in Islamabad.
Till 1991, PMD was providing Aviation Weather services to Defence Forces through regular deputation of meteorologists to PAF. However in 1991, PAF formed its own Met branch and officers are now inducted on regular basis in PAF to meet Aviation requirements. The main training for meteorologists is however imparted by PMD at Pakistan Institute of Meteorology and Geo Physics Karachi, through formal recognized courses. PAF Met branch is now providing weather services to PAF, Army, Navy, and paramilitary forces. PAF main Met offices are located in Karachi, Jacobabad, Shorekot, Sargodha, Mianwali, Rawalpindi, Kamra, Risalpur and Peshawar.
PMD has offices and research facilities in all provinces and territories of the country.[5]
