Climate change is making extreme weather events worse, empowering meteorological phenomena such as storms, hurricanes, heat waves, and droughts. Against this backdrop, numerical weather predictions (NWPs), which use complex mathematical models that simulate atmospheric conditions, have become critical to protect people and businesses from these events and other weather-borne disasters.
