Thats hard to work out. a huge computer does the calculations, but even this massive machine has limits, so now the met office is getting an even bigger supercomputer that should be far more powerful. it will enable us to deliver more accurate, more timely, more localised predictions for both weather and climate that will enable people to make better decisions, stay safe and thrive ahead of time in the case of severe weather. at the moment, forecasts are based on a digital simulation of the atmo...
