weather bureau
Meteorological monitoring agency
A weather bureau is a government agency that monitors atmospheric conditions and issues forecasts.
In the United States, the Weather Bureau was renamed the National Weather Service in 1970, though the older term persists in casual use: The weather bureau says we're in for a cold snap.
