Director of the Meteorological Service, Dale Destin, has issued a compelling call for sustained national investment in climate monitoring systems and the construction of a modern, climate-resilient meteorological facility, warning that the country’s ability to respond to increasingly severe weather events depends on it.

Marking World Meteorological Day, Destin underscored the critical role of meteorological and hydrological services in safeguarding lives, strengthening resilience, and supporting sustainable development across Antigua and Barbuda.
