Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet)

The Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet) is a Spanish government agency responsible for providing weather forecasts, warnings, and climate information. Recently, the agency has been in the news due to changes in leadership, with President María José Rallo leaving her position after two years, and the reorganization of the agency following protests from employees. Aemet has also been tracking severe weather events across Spain, including heatwaves, droughts, and storms, which have had significant impacts on various regions. The agency's predictions and warnings are crucial for public safety and decision-making in areas such as agriculture, transportation, and emergency response. With the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, Aemet's role is becoming increasingly important in supporting Spain's adaptation to climate change.
