What is Climsoft?
Climsoft is a software suite for storing climatic data in a secure and flexible manner and for extracting useful information from the data. Climsoft is a free open-source project, licensed under GPL3. It is widely used by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of developing countries.
What can Climsoft do for me?
Climsoft, Climate Data Management System (CDMS) is designed for organisations who wish to store historical climatic data in computerised form. These data can be used to produce summary reports, maps or diagrams or subsets of the data can be extracted for further processing.
Climate information is essential for many purposes; disaster risk reduction, food security planning, infrastructure and transport management, water supply and sewerage, public health surveillance, sustainable urban development, biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability, etc.
A well-managed climate database is a national "public good" asset, and this is a key responsibility of
the National Meteorological and Hydrological Service of every Country.
Capabilities of Climsoft CDMS Version 4, that make it suitable for use in many National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) are:

At the WMO Commission for Climatology meeting in May 2018, WMO decided to implement a strategy for
development of a free open-source Climate Data Management System and inviting
Members of WMO to participate. This "OpenCDMS" is expected to bring together
the best techniques from existing CDMS, including Climsoft.
The Climsoft user community website
has been implemented and provides Climsoft users' with the latest Climsoft software versions and updates. This platform
provides as well comprehensive
documentation on Climsoft (User's Manual and Guides, Tutorials and Videos, Case studies, etc.) and a forum to share
experiences and ask assistance on specific features of Climsoft. For any technical support or help please contact the
