Météo-France is a French public administration under the Ministry of Sustainable Development, with the central mission of observing and forecasting the atmosphere, snow cover, and the ocean surface to safeguard life and property. It maintains centers across metropolitan France, overseas territories, and regions worldwide where France is present, including Terre Adélie in Antarctica. Based in Saint-Mandé in the Île-de-France region, the agency serves public safety and planning needs through its weather observations and forecasts, supported by a staff largely composed of engineers and technicians with advanced education. A recent development is the construction of a 50-meter weather radar tower in Sembadel, Haute-Loire, aimed at improving observational accuracy. The organization also collaborates with external partners such as Ballondeparis, CLS Group, and Akrocean to support its data collection and forecast-related work.
