In this episode of Forecasting with Faye, we dive into the fascinating world of weather models — the hidden engines behind the forecasts we rely on every day.
We start with a journey through history, from Vilhelm Bjerknes’ early equations to Lewis Fry Richardson’s human “forecast factory,” and even how a British tea company helped the UK Met Office run its first computerised forecasts. Then, we explore the modern giants like the ECMWF and GFS, how deterministic and ensemble models work, and even a peek into the AI revolution that’s reshaping forecasting today.
Plus, in Weather Stories of the Week, we cover the recent US blizzard, which caused widespread disruption earlier this week.
Whether you’re curious about why your apps sometimes disagree or just love learning how science predicts the weather, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at forecasting like never before.
