The Aardvark prediction model, developed by a global initiative led by the Alan Turing Institute is set to democratize artificial intelligence-powered weather forecasting.

This move will ensure that the AI weather forecasting project will be more accessed globally by users.

This approach enables desktop computers worldwide to generate forecasts that are both rapid and precise, comparable to those generated by supercomputers.

Aardvark reduces processing and energy requirements by directly applying machine learning to raw weather data from satellites and stations.

This advancement provides precise predictions for events such as excessive rainfall, thereby enhancing agricultural planning and providing a unique opportunity for regions with limited resources, such as certain regions of Africa.
