Trends study highlights AI impact on weather prediction, climate awareness


ABU DHABI: Trends Research and Advisory has released a new study titled ‘AI Skies: Transforming Weather Prediction and Climate Awareness.’ The study explores how AI is transforming weather forecasting with an unprecedented level of accuracy.

The study, conducted by Noor Al Mazrouei, Head of the AI and advanced technology programme at Trends, showed that by analysing colossal amounts of data collected from satellites, weather forecasting stations and other sources, AI systems can predict extreme weather events more accurately, allowing for improved disaster preparedness and risk management.

The advent of AI applications in meteorology has ushered in a new era of personalised weather services, directly catering to the varying needs of different users and industries.

The study highlighted the societal benefits of AI in weather forecasting, such as enhancing the accuracy of weather forecasts, which are essential for sound planning and decision-making across different sectors of society.

The study discussed ho
w artificial intelligence has become a pivotal tool for simplifying and interpreting complex climate data, enabling decision-makers and scientists to make better decisions. It explains the potential of artificial intelligence in raising public awareness of climate change through platforms that translate complex climate data into an easy-to-understand format.

The study concluded that AI not only improves weather forecasting, but fundamentally changes the way we understand and address climate challenge.
