IIT Bombay researchers develop AI-powered system to predict rain
In what makes for a first-of-its-kind model in the country, a team from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has developed a machine learning-based nowcast forecasting system which will analyse weather radars to predict rainfall at least 90 minutes ahead of rains. Set to be launched next week, the model has been installed at Mumbai's Regional Meteorological Centre in Colaba. Once launched, the model will issue nowcast warnings with updates every eight minutes, forecasting rain in Mumbai up to 90 minutes in advance. The data pertaining to the nowcast forecast warnings will be furnished on the website, The AI-powered forecasting system is based on a model developed by Akshay Sunil, a post doc student at IIT Bombay's Centre for Climate Studies. According to Professor Subimal Ghosh, head of the department and the Principal Investigator of the project, the model will work by analysing the rainbands and weather systems over the past few hours to forecast the incoming rain patterns. 'The idea is to analyse the data from the past few hours pertaining to the rainbands, cloud formation, wind speed and other factors. On the basis of such data provided by the radars, the model will use machine learning to understand the existing systems and analyse them to predict the rain over the next hour. The data for the model is being procured from the IMD radars,' said Prof Ghosh. With the model installed at the Regional Meteorological Centre in Colaba, the system has already generated positive forecasts in its testing phase. Funded by HDFC Ergo, the IIT Bombay project is a collaboration between IMD and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The new forecast system is slated to be launched next week, with nowcast warnings set to be made public via the website portal. Launched last year, the portal presently provides hyperlocal forecasts for the next 24-48 hours while also furnishing past data for recorded rainfall and water level. Citizens can also report flooding in their area, with details pertaining to location, water levels as well as feedback. Currently, the Centre for Climate Studies at IIT Bombay is also working on developing a flood forecasting mechanism through flood modelling.

Parts of north AP gear up for heavy rain today as depression hits coast
1 2 Visakhapatnam: Parts of the Srikakulam, Parvathipuram Manyam, Vizianagaram, and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts are bracing for heavy rainfall on Saturday (July 26), as a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal intensified into a depression and made landfall. Under its influence, several areas in Srikakulam and parts of Parvathipuram Manyam, Vizianagaram, ASR, Eluru, and NTR districts received moderate to heavy showers. The depression, located over northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal West Bengal and Bangladesh, moved west-northwestward, crossing coastal areas of West Bengal and Bangladesh on Friday morning. It is expected to advance across Gangetic West Bengal, northern Odisha, and Jharkhand by Saturday. Heavy rainfall disrupted life in Amadalavalasa, Sarubujjili, Ponduru, and Burja mandals of Srikakulam district, causing waterlogging in paddy fields and blocking village roads. Downpours also slowed traffic and affected daily activities in ASR and Manyam districts. According to the IMD, rainfall was recorded at most locations in coastal Andhra Pradesh (CAP) and sporadically across Rayalaseema between Thursday and Friday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Notable measurements include 5 cm in Palakonda (Manyam), 4 cm in Paderu (ASR), and 3 cm in Veeraghattam (Manyam), Chintapalle (ASR), Jangamaheswarapuram (Palnadu), and Pathapatnam (Srikakulam). With thunderstorms and lightning expected at isolated locations in CAP, and wind speeds reaching 40–50 kmph, officials have advised caution. Tragically, lightning strikes claimed two lives in separate incidents in North Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday.
