The Nordic Meteorologist’s Meeting (NMM) has a long and proud history. The first NMM was conducted in 1960 in Stockholm. Since 1964 the meeting has been hosted every second year alternating through the five Nordic countries Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. The meeting in 2020 was postponed to 2022, due to corona.

At NMM33 in Copenhagen 2024 it was agreed that NMM34 in 2026 should be in Faroe Island organized by the Faroe Meterological Office (FMO). The future hosting will then be alternating: Norway (2028), Sweden (2030), Iceland (2032),  Finland (2034), Denmark (2036), Faroe Islands (2038) etc., if no changes will occur.

NMM Committee/Board or Forum

At some previous meetings there have been a “NMM committee/board” with 1 member from each of the Nordic countries helping to organise the meeting. It has been suggested to establish a new "NMM committee/board ", perhaps with be 1-3 members from each of the Nordic countries. Until now it has been decided not to establish a new "NMM committee/board", as it perhaps is too formal. Instead we like to have a “forum” to discuss ideas and suggestions about NMM.

Modernisation of NMM

Previously the NMM was a forum mainly for operational forecasters to meet and present their research of climate and weather including case studies, model development, observations, statistics etc. In the latest NMM perhaps has been transformed to be “too scientific”, so only/mainly researchers are participating! We hope that we again can find a balance with a mixture of duty weather forecasters, scientist or researchers in climate and meteorology as well as everybody interested in “weather, climate, observations, modelling and forecasting
