The China Meteorological Administration (CMA; simplified Chinese: 中国气象局; traditional Chinese: 中國氣象局; pinyin: Zhōngguó Qìxiàng Jú), headquartered in Beijing, is the national weather service for the People's Republic of China, which, like all other national agencies and institutions, has no responsibility or power over the special administrative regions.
The agency was originally established in December 1949 as the Central Military Commission Meteorological Bureau. It replaced the Central Weather Bureau formed in 1941. In 1994, the CMA was transformed from a subordinate governmental body into one of the public service agencies under the State Council.
Meteorological bureaus are established in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, excluding meteorological services at Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. 14 meteorological bureaus at sub-provincial cities including 4 cities which have been specifically designated in the state development plan), 318 meteorological bureaus at prefecture level and 2,300 bureaus (stations) at county level.
