The Ministry of Earth Sciences has outlined the implementation progress of Mission Mausam, aimed at making India 'Weather-ready and Climate-smart'.
Computing power for weather models has been boosted to 28 Peta FLOPS in 2025 using the Arka and Arunika supercomputers.
The IMD has developed the Mausamgram platform for hyperlocal, village-level weather forecasts.
To exponentially enhance weather and climate observations, modelling, and forecasting for better early warning systems.
Key: Deploys next-gen radars, AI/ML-driven Earth system models, and high-performance computing to achieve panchayat-level forecasting.
Provide location-specific, hyperlocal weather forecasts down to the village/gram panchayat level.
Key: Delivers hourly forecasts for 36 hours and extended forecasts up to ten days based on PIN code or location search.
