Super-computer to improve Met Office forecasts

The Exeter-based Met Office says weather forecasts will become more accurate thanks to a new super computer.


It'll cost 97 million pounds and be ready next year - and will be 13 times more powerful than their current one.

It will allow forecasters to give hourly updates and highly detailed weather information for local areas, as well as helping to predict flooding, strong winds, fog and heavy snowfall more effectively.
