It’s that time of year again! WMO is launching its annual competition to select the winning photographs for the WMO 2019 calendar. The theme is The Sun, the Earth and the Weather, reflecting the slogan for World Meteorological Day on 23 March 2019.
WMO encourages photo submissions which reflect the theme – and this can include solar flares and space weather, solar energy, as well as sunrises and sunsets. We also welcome other high-quality and artistic photographs. We are keen to encourage a good geographical balance.
