The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as oods, droughts, heat waves, heavy and intense rains etc. pose potentially disastrous consequences for agriculture, food security and biodiversity. Climate variability and change are impacting agriculture and other socio-economic sectors in most parts of the world. Despite considerable improvements in the observational systems and advancement in the weather forecast, accuracy of quantitative prediction several days in advance remains a big challenge for meteorologists across the globe. Moreover, translation of forecast into warnings and implementation of warnings into action by the disaster mangers need considerable improvement. Public perception including those of media about climate change and its impact also needs attention. Planning for appropriate adoption of the latest developments in science & technology to mitigate the economic and ecological impacts of extreme events is need of the hour. Knowledge sharing, critical thinking and proper understanding of user-priorities are urgently needed for formulating solutions to issues which range from the global to local. With this background, the Indian Meteorological Society is organizing a National Symposium TROPMET 2015 on “Weather & Climate Extremes”. It will provide a unique opportunity to operational meteorologists, researchers, planners, hydrologists, agriculturists, disaster managers, instrumentation scientists and technology developers to exchange their views on the subject.
