"Weather forecasts are often seen as just a nice thing to have. Useful when
planning a Sunday barbecue, or when we want to know if we’ll need an umbrella
for the day. But in many ways weather forecasts are absolutely crucial: they
can be a matter of life and death.
Accurate forecasts can save lives by giving early warnings of storms, heat
waves, and disasters. Farmers use them for agricultural management, which can
make the difference between a lost harvest or a harvest of plenty. Grid
operators rely on accurate forecasts of temperatures for heating and cooling
demand, and how much energy they’ll get from wind and solar farms. Pilots and
sailors need them to carry people across oceans safely. Accurate information
about future weather is often absolutely vital.
In this article, I look at improvements over time and the global inequalities
that need to be closed to protect lives and livelihoods around the world."
