The Technical Training on Monitoring and Forecasting of Severe Weather over the Lancang-Mekong River Region, co-hosted by the National Meteorological Centre (NMC), and the Yunnan Provincial Meteorological Bureau, will be held in Puer, Yunan during 25-28 March 2024.

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent under the global warming background. The Lancang-Mekong region is heavily affected by weather disasters. China and counties on Indochina Peninsula linked by land and Lancang-Mekong river should build a closer cooperation to cope with the negative effects of extreme weather disasters.
