Weather forecast 30 years in advance

The Japanese Ministry of Science hopes to be able to forecast the weather for the next 30 years thanks to the Earth Simulator supercomputer. This is one of the most powerful computers in the world, capable of performing 35,000 billion calculations in a second.

The Earth Simulator uses data such as air pressure, sea temperature and air, the movement of the earth's crust and currents to analyze long-term weather trends in the future.

Since then, the government will predict where natural disasters can occur such as storms, heavy snowfall, coastal erosion, drought . and have a contingency plan to respond promptly. Farmers can also plan to grow crops according to weather changes. (Telegraph)
