Our Agrometeorological Services
The Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) provides vital climate and weather information tailored to support agricultural planning and decision-making. These services bridge the gap between meteorology and agriculture by offering timely advisories on rainfall patterns, temperature trends, soil moisture conditions, and the onset and cessation of the rainy season.
Our Team of experts delivers seasonal forecasts, early warnings, and crop-specific advisories, ZMD helps farmers optimize planting and harvesting schedules, manage climate-related risks, and improve food security. Working closely with agricultural extension services and local communities, ZMD ensures that climate-smart information reaches those who need it most—especially smallholder farmers. These services play a key role in promoting sustainable agriculture and building resilience to climate variability and change in Zambia.
