Mission Mausam – AI Innovation in Indian Weather Forecasting
AI is revolutionizing weather prediction in India by utilizing advanced models like random forests and neural networks to enhance accuracy and detail in forecasting. New systems such as Fourcastnet and Graphcast provide localized insights. Government support ensures these innovations improve safety and planning for agriculture and emergency responses, benefiting all citizens.
Impact of La Niña on Indian Monsoon Patterns
La Niña is a climate pattern in the Pacific affecting India’s weather, often resulting in above-normal rainfall during the southwest monsoon. While it aids groundwater replenishment and supports agriculture, it can also lead to flooding and crop damage. The Indian Meteorological Department monitors these effects, providing farmers with crucial advisories for weather management.
