The Eighth WMO International Workshop on Monsoons (IWM-8) will focus on Advancing the Understanding & Prediction of Monsoons and their Impacts in a Changing Climate and will emphasize addressing monsoon impacts as part of the societal challenges prioritized by the WWRP and WCRP.
The workshop will be held at IITM Pune during 17-21 March 2025 in hybrid mode, permitting on-site and virtual participation. The IWM provides a forum for researchers, forecasters, and stakeholders/end-users to discuss recent advances in monsoons research and current topics including new observational studies, process studies, and strategic priority setting for modelling/prediction studies, covering weather-to-climate time scales. The emphasis is on addressing monsoon impacts as part of the societal challenges prioritized by the WWRP and WCRP: high-impact weather, water, agriculture, energy, disaster risk reduction, urbanization, and new technologies, in heavily populated monsoon regions around the world. Outcomes from the workshop are expected to facilitate transfer of new science and technology to National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in these regions.
