WMO AI Nowcasting Pilot Project

The AI Nowcasting Pilot Project (AINPP) is a global initiative led by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to transform severe weather forecasting through the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). With a special focus on developing countries, the project aims to accelerate the adoption of effective nowcasting systems that deliver timely early warnings, helping to save lives and reduce socio-economic losses.
AINPP brings together a global network of national meteorological services, academic institutions, and industry leaders to develop, test, and implement AI-based nowcasting solutions.

Key goals include:

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of AI in short-term weather forecasting.
  • Deploying experimental AI-driven nowcasting products in tropical regions.
  • Establishing best practices for AI use and promoting public-private collaboration.
  • Supporting the global Early Warning for All initiative, advancing technological innovation to strengthen climate resilience worldwide.
