What is uruguayan institute of meteorology?

The Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology, also known as INUMET (Instituto Uruguayo de Meteorología), is a public organization responsible for providing weather-related services and information to the citizens and institutions of Uruguay. It was created in 1946 and its headquarters is located in Montevideo, Uruguay.

INUMET operates a network of meteorological stations throughout the country that measure parameters such as temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity, precipitation, and atmospheric pressure. This data is used to create weather forecasts, issue warnings and alerts about weather-related events such as storms, floods, or droughts, and provide climate projections and analyses.

The institute also provides specialized services to sectors such as agriculture, maritime activities, aviation, and civil protection. In addition, it collaborates with international organizations such as the World Meteorological Organization and participates in research projects related to meteorology and climate.

Through its website and social media channels, INUMET offers free access to weather-related information, including current conditions, forecasts, and satellite and radar images. It also provides educational resources for schools and the general public, such as educational videos and workshops on meteorology and climate change.
