There is a silent revolution going on in the weather world powered by AI. ECMWF has introduced the Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS), a data-driven ensemble weather forecasting model, similar to those developed by Google, Huawei & NVIDIA. What's the big deal?🧵

Exciting news! ⚡️ Forecasters in Europe & beyond now have access to LI data, just in time for the summer storm season! By observing abrupt changes in lightning activity, forecasters can better monitor/predict the development & severity of storms. More at: bit.ly/4ckBouP

ICYMI: This week, pre-operational data from #MTGI1's Lightning Imager were released to #weather forecasters around Europe & beyond! ⚡️ Below: full-disk animation showing the LI's full field of view (covering around 84% of visible disk). Find out more at: bit.ly/4ckBouP
