Across the world, every single day, people make decisions based on the weather. The Met Office produces over 4 million forecasts every day; providing weather and climate forecasts to help with those decisions - to enable protection, well-being and support the economy.
The Met Office’s Service and System Monitoring Team provide the organisation with real time monitoring of application, data and infrastructure components that are vital to the delivery of Met Office services to their customers.
