The Met Office is the United Kingdom's national weather and climate service, operating as an executive agency of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. While primarily known for terrestrial weather forecasting, the Met Office also plays a crucial role in space weather forecasting, running the Space Weather Operations Centre (MOSWOC). MOSWOC provides 24/7 forecasts and warnings of space weather to government agencies, emergency responders, operators of critical infrastructure, and the public, working with international partners to monitor solar activity and its potential impacts on Earth-based systems like GPS, power grids, and satellite communications.
