About Us
It is the role of the Office of State Climatology
to provide weather and climate information
to the public and private interests to improve decision making activities
that affect environmental quality and the economic efficiency of
the State. Activities include providing specific weather data for
the State and for the world, developing plans to mitigate the economic
impacts of weather and climate variability and providing consultation
on the use, interpretation and availability of weather and climate
information. The Alabama Office of the State Climatologist also directly
engages in important societal debates such as global warming through
workshops, congressional testimony and educational activities.
