Description
About Us
The Bermuda Weather Service (BWS) is operated by BAS-Serco Ltd., a joint venture between the local company, Bermuda Aviation Services (BAS) and the international outsourcing company, Serco, under a contract with the Department of Airport Operations, Ministry of Transport and Tourism.
The BWS has evolved substantially since its inception in 1995, following the departure of the US Navy, which previously provided a skeleton meteorological service for the Island, in addition to their own operational requirements at the former Kindley Field US Naval Air Station airfield, shared with Bermuda International Airport. The BWS is officially recognized as the island's National Meteorological Service, providing public, marine, tropical and aviation weather forecasts, warnings and climatolological services.
Dr. Mark Guishard has recently taken the position of Director, and manages the service along with Brian Kolts, the Deputy Director/Systems Administrator. All the operational staff are Bermudian (or spouses of Bermudians), including five Meteorologists (Forecasters) and five Meteorological Technicians (Observers). All our training and certification is carried out in close coordination with the Met Office, UK. The US National Weather Service and the UN World Meteorological Organisation provide additional specialist forecaster training at the National Hurricane Center in Miami Florida.
