Traditional weather models take hours to run on supercomputers. DeepMi

Traditional weather models require extensive calculations, often taking hours to run on powerful supercomputers.

DeepMind developed a generative model called DGMR that can predict rainfall in the next 90 minutes ('nowcasting') with incredible accuracy.

This is vital for flash floods. In a changing climate, extreme weather

This rapid forecasting capability is crucial for predicting and mitigating the risk of flash floods.

In a changing climate, extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent and severe, demanding faster responses.

The Met Office is constructing a ‘digital twin’ – a virtual replica – of the Earth’s atmosphere.

This allows scientists to model long-term climate change scenarios, assisting the government in planning for a warmer future.
