October 14th is Meteorologist
October 14th is Meteorologist 's Day, when the Brazilian Society of Meteorology (SBMET) decided to change the date in 2004, which was previously March 3rd. The new date was chosen to celebrate the regulation of the profession in Brazil, which occurred on October 14th, 1980, through Law No. 6.835.
Meteorologists are responsible for studying the atmosphere and predicting weather conditions, using advanced technologies. Their predictions are essential for several areas, such as agriculture, transportation and disaster management. The date also seeks to raise awareness about the importance of atmospheric sciences in our daily lives.
