How AI model predicts heavy rainstorms 4 hours in advance

Hong Kong and mainland Chinese scholars have developed a pioneering AI model that uses satellite data to forecast heavy rainstorms up to four hours before they strike, much earlier than current predictions allow. The model represented a “major advancement in atmospheric monitoring and severe weather early warnings, enabling faster and more accurate forecasts and strengthening regional disaster preparedness and response”, Dr Dai Kuai, a postdoctoral fellow in the University of Science and...
