About us

The National Meteorological Institute of Guinea-Bissau (INM-GB) is the entity responsible for providing crucial meteorological information for the sustainable development of the country and the mitigation of climate impacts on human well-being and the natural environment. Founded in 1964, the INM-GB has a long history of monitoring atmospheric conditions in the territory, beginning with the first meteorological station in Bolama in 1905. Since then, the network of meteorological stations has expanded, and the INM-GB became a member of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1977, actively participating in various regional and international organizations. Our mission is to ensure the systematic observation of the climate, share meteorological data globally, and collaborate with public and private institutions for the implementation of research projects and specialized meteorological services.
