Bangladesh is a disaster prone country and it is frequently affected by flood, drought, and tropical cyclones. Bangladesh is likely to be one of the most vulnerable countries of the world in the event of climate change. Despite the susceptibility of Bangladesh to weather and climate extremes, the country’s hydro-meteorological information, early warning and seasonal advisory related information is beyond to reach the farmer. There is an opportunity to provide reliable Agro-Meteorological information to farming community effectively. Agro-Meteorological information for sustainable agricultural development is needed to disseminate information to the farmer in their understandable language to plan their farming activities more efficiently.

WMO had organized a technical seminar in 2012 regarding climate services in Bangladesh. National and foreign expert’s participation in the seminar identified three key areas to develop and disseminate Agro-Meteorological services.
