3 Weather Women Who Changed History Forever

This International Women's Day, we're spotlighting three groundbreaking meteorologists whose stories deserve way more recognition. Ada Monzón became Puerto Rico's first female meteorologist and guided her community through Hurricane Maria's devastating 155 mph winds and the longest blackout in modern U.S. history. Anna Mani, India's first weather woman, turned down working with a Nobel Prize winner to build her country's entire weather infrastructure from scratch—laying the foundation for cyclone warnings and wind energy research. In 1962, Dianne White Clatto shattered the color barrier as the first full-time African American weathercaster on TV at KSD-TV in St. Louis, after modeling for Saks Fifth Avenue. These women didn't just forecast the weather—they made history.
