The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has launched an AI-based forecasting system that will provide block-level monsoon alerts to farmers across 16 states in India. This innovative system, developed in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) and the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), aims to enhance agricultural planning by delivering localized rainfall forecasts. The monsoon season typically begins in June, and the new system will help farmers make informed decisions by providing probabilistic forecasts for the next four weeks. Uttar Pradesh will benefit from highly detailed rainfall forecasts with a resolution of 1 km, utilizing data from various sources, including weather stations and satellites. Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasized that this shift towards impact-based forecasting is crucial in light of changing climate patterns and increasing extreme weather events. The AI-enabled system will improve the accuracy of forecasts, making them more useful for agriculture, water resource management, and urban planning.
