How Brits could know the exact temperature in their back garden - as Met Office trials AI forecast

It is good news for anyone who likes to sunbathe close to home. Bosses at the Met Office say weather forecasts could soon become'hyper local' - even predicting the temperature in your back garden. By using artificial intelligence and data collected by amateur forecasters, the new model was able to predict precisely how hot it will get down to the level of an individual street. The Met Office's standard forecasting model divides the UK into grid squares of 1.5km. By using AI techniques, the new method is able to predict the weather within 100 metre squares'showing the potential for hyper-local forecasts for temperature, even within the same street,' the Met Office said.
