The Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) provides essential weather and climate information to support the safety, efficiency, and reliability of air travel across Zambia. Through a network of observation stations and forecasting tools, ZMD delivers timely aviation forecasts, warnings, and real-time data to pilots, air traffic personnel, and airport operators.

Our services support flight planning, en-route safety, and airport operations by offering tailored products such as terminal forecasts, upper wind and temperature charts, and severe weather advisories. These are critical for minimizing weather-related disruptions and ensuring informed decision-making throughout all phases of flight.

ZMD remains committed to enhancing aviation services through continuous improvement, capacity building, and close collaboration with the civil aviation sector to meet national and regional air transport needs.
