Agricultural Weather Advisory: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Registered farmers in the UAE can receive real-time weather alerts to help protect their crops from extreme weather conditions.
This scheme provides timely weather updates to help farmers protect their crops from sudden or extreme weather changes.
Who it's for
To access these weather notifications, you must be a registered farmer. The service is specifically designed for those who are already officially recognized within the agricultural registration system in the United Arab Emirates.
What you get
The primary benefit of this service is the receipt of real-time alerts. These notifications focus on extreme weather events that are likely to affect your crops. By receiving these timely updates, you can better prepare for environmental shifts that might impact your farming operations, your crop yields, or the overall health of your plants.
What it costs you
The cost of receiving these alerts is tied to your chosen communication method. You will be responsible for the standard costs associated with using your SMS or email service to receive these notifications.
The catch to know
There are two important things to keep in mind to ensure the service works for you. First, all weather alerts are issued in both English and Arabic, so you should be prepared to receive information in both languages. Second, the effectiveness of the service depends entirely on your contact information. You must ensure that your phone number and email address are always updated and correct in the system so that the alerts reach you without delay.
How to apply
- Ensure that your status as a farmer is officially registered within the national system.
- Contact the National Center of Meteorology to set up your alerts.
- Select your preferred delivery method, choosing between SMS or email for your notifications.
- Double-check that the contact details you provide are accurate and currently active.
