The Future Of Weather Forecasting

It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future – Danish Proverb

For many years, looking up at a red sky at night brought delight to shepherds. Cows lying in the fields, however, was a sign to prepare for rain.

Fortunately, modern methods of weather prediction are more sophisticated. Weather prediction is critical for managing the UK's growing renewable energy resources, understanding climate change, and improving transportation and agriculture. Generating faster and more accurate weather predictions is therefore increasingly important.

AI is playing a big part in the field of green technology, as discussed in our recent AI report ¹. Weather prediction is no exception, with data-driven machine learning (ML) being used extensively in this space.
