Riyadh: The National Center of Meteorology has begun enforcing the requirements of the new Meteorology Law, aiming to enhance governance and improve organizational performance efficiency within the sector.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the new law mandates full compliance with its regulations, controls, procedures, and standards for all individuals and entities involved in providing meteorological services or publishing related information. The law is designed to ensure that all meteorological activities meet established guidelines, thereby maintaining the integrity and reliability of weather-related services and information.
A significant aspect of the law is the requirement for individuals or entities to obtain a license, permit, or both, depending on their activities. This is necessary for providing meteorological services or distributing related information through websites or any other platforms. The regulations provide detailed descriptions of service types and specify the requirements and standards that must be met to obtain the necessary licenses or permits.
The implementation of this law is part of the center's ongoing efforts to regulate the meteorological industry effectively, ensuring that all service providers adhere to consistent standards of quality and reliability.
