The presenter said Mann Gulch prompted a national fire science lab in the 1960s and that modern crews now call the National Weather Service for real-time forecasts, helping anticipate wind events that drive fire behavior.

Weather forecasts guide decisions every day, from farming to emergency management. Our study shows that combining multiple computer models using adaptive w

BEIJING, Oct 13 (Bernama) — Malaysia is seeking China’s expertise in disaster early warning systems to strengthen preparedness for unpredictable weather during the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) regime, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. He said the satellite-based system could provide more comprehensive and accurate weather forecasts, enabling the government to implement mitigation measures more effectively. The data, he said, would help the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) issue timely warnings in disaster-prone areas, particularly when rainfall and wind surges exceed initial forecasts. “We will seek China’s cooperation in global weather forecasting, including equipment and satellite-based systems.

A new film explores how historical weather forecasts by meteorologists were pivotal in planning the D-Day landings during World War II. The documentary highlights the challenges faced by forecasters in 1944, including the need to predict accurate weather conditions for the Allied invasion. Experts like Group Captain James Stagg, whose work was critical to the success of the operation, are featured. The film also examines the technological limitations of the era and how their predictions influenced military strategy. Researchers and historians emphasize the importance of meteorological data in wartime decision-making, showcasing how weather patterns determined the timing of the invasion. The project underscores the often-overlooked contributions of meteorologists to major historical events, blending historical analysis with insights from modern science. It also raises questions about the ethical responsibilities of scientists in times of conflict, as their work had life-or-death implications for soldiers and civilians alike.

Haonan Chen, a CSU associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, and his team have published research that could improve the accuracy of precipitation forecasts up to two weeks in advance.

Open source WeatherNext model can make accurate predictions with lower-resolution weather data.

On Wednesday, Google’s DeepMind division announced what may go down as the most significant advancement in weather forcasting in nearly eight decades of work.
