The École nationale de la météorologie (ENM), also known as the French Meteorology University, is a special engineering school in Toulouse, France. It teaches students all about meteorology, which is the study of weather and the atmosphere. The school started a long time ago in 1948.

ENM is one of France's "grandes écoles". These are famous schools that train top engineers and leaders. The university has its own main campus. It also has another smaller campus at the École nationale de l'aviation civile. This is where students learn about weather related to aviation (flying planes).
