High-Resolution Weather Forecasting System for Punjab, India
The Weather and Climate Modelling Research Group (WeCLiMb) at IISER Mohali, led by Dr. Raju Attada, has developed a high-resolution weather forecasting system for Punjab using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The system provides forecasts up to 72 hours (3 days) in advance for rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, and wind conditions. It uses global weather information from the ECMWF forecasting system and refines it through high-resolution regional modelling, providing more detailed local-scale weather information across Punjab. The WeCLiMb forecasting system is a research and public-service initiative designed to provide weather information that can support planning and preparedness among farmers, local communities, researchers, administrators, and other stakeholders. Through this initiative, WeCLiMb aims to strengthen high-resolution weather prediction capabilities and contribute to weather-resilient and climate-informed decision-making across Punjab. We acknowledge IISER Mohali for the support.
