With climate change altering rainfall patterns reliable weather forecasts, agro-advice and timely alarms are becoming invaluable, especially in the agricultural sector. Agriculture is very reliant on weather patterns \u2013 80% of yield variations are determined by the weather. Farmers need a reliable mixture of sun, warmth, and rain to produce a steady supply of food. So, making tailored, accurate weather forecasts are vital to farm management.<\/p>\n
