ArabiaWeather, a leading provider of weather products and solutions in the Middle East, has signed an agreement with the UK’s national weather service, the Met Office, to promote its training products across the region.

 Under the five-year agreement, ArabiaWeather will present the Met Office's extensive training products to prospective customers and third parties, thereby offering meteorological institutions in the Middle East and Africa the chance to benefit from the Met Office's expertise.

According to the terms of the agreement, ArabiaWeather will endeavour to promote Met Office products and training materials across the region. The agreement covers nations across the Middle East and Africa.

Mohammed Al-Shaker, CEO of ArabiaWeather said: "This is yet another partnership that is aligned with ArabiaWeather's strategy to bring world class meteorological services to the region. We strive to bring the best weather products into the Mena region, which is suffering from adverse weather effects, costing the economy considerable losses."

Sally Wolkowski, head of the Met Office College, said: "The Met Office is delighted to be working with ArabiaWeather on this venture and has been at the forefront of global weather and climate science for 160 years.

“We combine the latest science with ground-breaking advances in technology and local understanding to deliver operational advantage to our customers. Our knowledge, experience and flexibility allow us to apply our science across business and government, managing the risks and opportunities presented by our weather as they arise." – TradeArabia News Service
