Seychelles Meteorological Authority Showcases Services at the Golden Jubilee Celebration Exhibition During the 50th Anniversary of Seychelles' Independence

The Seychelles Meteorological Authority (SMA) is proud to participate in the Golden Jubilee Celebration Exhibition, showcasing its services at the Innovation Pavilion as part of the celebrations marking the 50th Anniversary of Seychelles' Independence.

Taking place from 26 to 29 June 2026 at Stad Linite, Roche Caiman, the exhibition provides an opportunity for everyone attending the Golden Jubilee Celebration Exhibition to discover the vital role that weather, climate, and marine services play in protecting lives, supporting key sectors of the economy, and strengthening national resilience.

At the SMA stand, people of all ages will be able to explore weather instruments and meteorological technologies used to monitor atmospheric and ocean conditions across Seychelles. They will also learn more about the Authority's weather, climate, and marine services, including forecasting, climate monitoring, tropical cyclone tracking, marine advisories, and other essential information services.

Everyone attending the exhibition can also take part in the SMA Weather & Climate Quiz by scanning the QR code available at the stand. The interactive quiz offers a fun and educational way to test knowledge of weather and climate, while giving participants the chance to win exciting prizes.

As Seychelles celebrates 50 years of Independence, the SMA reflects on its long-standing contribution to the nation's development. Meteorological services have been part of Seychelles' journey throughout the past five decades, supporting aviation, maritime operations, tourism, fisheries, agriculture, disaster risk reduction, and everyday decision-making. In 2026, Seychelles also marks 55 years of aviation meteorological services, highlighting the enduring importance of accurate and timely weather information to national safety and connectivity.

The exhibition also provides an opportunity for members of the public to meet SMA meteorologists and technical experts, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of how meteorological information supports preparedness, safety, and resilience across the islands.

Through its participation in the Golden Jubilee Celebration Exhibition, the Seychelles Meteorological Authority reaffirms its commitment to delivering reliable weather, climate, and marine services that help safeguard lives, protect property, and support informed decision-making across the country.
