Observed on March 23, World Meteorological Day recognizes the science of weather, climate and water, and the experts who help people prepare for changing conditions.
The date marks the 1950 establishment of the World Meteorological Organization, which coordinates global forecasting and climate efforts. Meteorology affects everything from daily forecasts and flight planning to farming, shipping and disaster response. Modern forecasting has improved dramatically thanks to satellites, radar, computer models and international data sharing.

The first recorded use of “OK” in print appeared on March 23, 1839, in the Boston Morning Post, launching one of the most widely recognized words in the world.
The abbreviation was part of a humorous trend of intentionally misspelled phrases used by newspapers. “OK” stood for “oll korrect,” a playful version of “all correct.” The phrase might have faded, but a major boost during the 1840 presidential campaign, when supporters of Martin Van Buren, nicknamed “Old Kinderhook,” used “OK” as a slogan.
Today, “OK” is understood in hundreds of languages and remains one of the world’s most universal words.
