ordan Meteorological Department (JOMETEO) was established as an office for weather observation and forecast at Jerusalem Airport in 1951. Number of weather observation stations was limited at that time, and tasks of these stations were no more than issuing weather reports and forecast, and sometimes climate information. Then, expansions in constructing stations and using state-of-the-art equipment continued until meteorology became in the form we see today. Nowadays, JOMETEO enters in many basic life aspects of the citizen, as its role is not limited on issuing weather reports only, but also providing different services in aviation, agriculture, climate and construction.

In 1967, and pursuant to Regulation No. 19, JOMETEO became an independent department connected with the Ministry of Transport. This department joined the membership of World Meteorology Organization (WMO) in 1955, and represented by all commissions related to WMO.
