Others have time to submit their options till October 1, and the result will be announced in the month od December.

As per the reports, nine other Member States are also participating in the competition. The centre is both a research institute and a 24/7 operational service, producing weather predictions for European countries.

The weather forecasting system of the center is totally on another level, the center is equipped with all kinds of modern facilities, including one of the largest supercomputer facilities. The weather is analyzed and predicted using advanced computer modeling techniques.

The center is also capable and specialized in in global weather forecasting about 2 weeks ahead of time.
