The present rapid development in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) all over the world has made life and work much easier for man, but has made accessibility to valuable information cheaper, easier and available for use at any time, and in any part of the world. Man, is an entity of the ecosystem and his survival, way of life, and development to a large extent is determined by how informed he is, about his interaction with the ecosystem and all the processes that go on in it. The present advances in ICT coincides with the era of population explosion which is threatened by weather and climate hazards, and leaves the huge population highly vulnerable to risks associated with such disasters and hazards. The risks have been heightened by human activities of development which have caused increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that has made the earth warmer and increased the frequency of occurrences of extreme weather and climate hazards such as flooding, drought, heat waves, forest fires, hurricanes, landslides etc. Weather service refers to data and information on past weather conditions, present conditions of the atmosphere, surface water or oceans or future weather conditions (forecast, warnings, alerts), advisories or investigations that have been processed for use in making decisions, planning purposes that will optimize production, and ensure preparedness against likely weather disasters. The present advances in ICT coincides with the era of population explosion which is threatened by weather and climate hazards, and leaves the huge population highly vulnerable to risks associated with such disasters and hazards. The risks have been heightened by human activities of development which have caused increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that has made the earth warmer and increased the frequency of occurrences of extreme weather and climate hazards such as flooding drought, heat waves, forest fires, hurricanes, landslides etc. These have claimed lives, destroyed properties, infrastructure, caused loss of farm lands and affected agricultural production in different parts of the world.
