India is using artificial intelligence to predict climate crises

As heavy rains, floods and droughts spread across India, the country is testing artificial intelligence models to improve weather forecasting. Global warming has worsened the weather in India in recent years; Extreme weather events in 2023 near 3000 people has led to death in this country.

According to a Reuters report, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) plans to make more accurate weather forecasts with the help of mathematical models and supercomputers. The use of artificial intelligence, which has a wider range of observations than other conventional systems, can help generate higher quality and lower cost data for better forecasting. Accurate weather forecasting is especially important in India, a country of 1.4 billion people and the world's second largest producer of rice, wheat and sugar.

Artificial intelligence and weather forecasting in India

The India Meteorological Department has used artificial intelligence to issue public warnings about heat waves and diseases such as malaria. Now this organization plans to increase climate observatories and monitor the weather even in villages. The Indian government has announced that it will use artificial intelligence in traditional weather forecasting models.

One of the researchers of this technology said that an artificial intelligence model does not need to be expensive and can even be run with a good quality desktop computer. Of course, experts say that better data is needed to make the most of artificial intelligence.

The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology says that without high-resolution data at different times and environments, no AI model can provide accurate predictions.

So far, various meteorological agencies around the world have focused on artificial intelligence, which can reduce costs and increase the speed of doing things. The British Met Office says this technology could revolutionize weather forecasting. Recently, Google was able to provide a very accurate forecast of the weather with DeepMind artificial intelligence.
