European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the UK's exit from the EU, whether the UK will cease to participate in the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts; and if so, when the Centre will relocate away from the UK.

Answer

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is an independent intergovernmental treaty organisation including both EU and non-EU member and co-operating states. There are no plans for the UK to cease to be a member of ECMWF and we remain committed to hosting the organisation in the UK.
