Issued in 1992, this stamp commemorates World Meteorological Day, observed annually on 23 March under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The design features the WMO emblem above a meteorological satellite image showing weather systems over the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding regions. The imagery highlights the importance of weather observation, forecasting, and atmospheric monitoring in protecting lives, supporting aviation and maritime navigation, and improving scientific understanding of climate and environmental processes.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Sultanate of Oman expressed its support for international cooperation in meteorology and environmental science. The issue celebrated the contribution of meteorological services to public safety, economic development, and natural resource management, while emphasizing the importance of accurate weather forecasting and climate research in a rapidly changing world.
