Pleased to share our recent paper on analyses of suites of observations and model forecast for the extreme rainfall event during 9-10 July over Delhi NCR. Models could reasonably forecast with short lead but still struggle to get the amount & location.

India leads the world in hyper-local weather forecasting, outpacing the US, EU, and UK with precise alerts for storms, heatwaves, and cyclones. Farmers receive timely rainfall warnings, and emergency teams respond faster—turning disaster management from reactive to predictive.

There was a continuous debate about how to make the ensemble prediction system products useful to operational forecasters. To address this question, @Snehlata Tirkey etal. published this paper where a derails is provided to decide on extreme event forecast

A very special occasion of formal inauguration of our book on South Asian Monsoon by dignitaries at Atria University, Bengaluru today. Proud to be part of the function

Will request all to please listen to the most authentic narrative straight from the scientists the developers who built with extreme dedication the Bharat Forecasting System model in a span of 5 years and put India on top of globe in the following YouTube https://t.co/hEbEdivYXO

A landmark initiative that we started in IITM in 2017 came to completion by launch of Bharat Forecast System on 26th May. The complete sequence of the development is reported by The Telegraph

I have immense respect for the women mentioned here—they have done outstanding research in their respective fields. That said, I would like to clarify that the forecast system being referred to was developed by a different team of scientists at IITM. The core development, over

A landmark achievement and momentus occasion tomorrow while the high resolution (6km) global forecast model named as "Bharat Forecast System " developed by IITM (our own group) will be dedicated to the nation by Hon'ble Minister of MoES Dr. Jitendra Singh

Delighted to organize the launch of our recent book " South Asian Summer Monsoon: Processes, predictions and societal impacts" published by Elsevier on 6th June, 0200 PM at @atriauniversity The book is available for sale at https://t.co/T0XbicyqZ7 @ElsevierNews

A state of the art tutorial training cum workshop to be organized by Atria University, Bengaluru on AI/ML and km-scale modelling for weather and energy sectors. Global experts will speak in the workshop. Good opportunity for the students to learn the cutting edge topic #Rajeevan

Book on South Asian Summer Monsoon. @htTweets published my detailed interview on our forthcoming book & what are the grey areas of monsoon research. Since monsoon affects our living & GDP, we need to invest much more for monsoon research https://t.co/GQYXPaJHcQ @moesgoi

I'm convinced India will never be able to compete with the US and China in technology if we keep treating it as a spectacle. A bunch of influential folks are organising, Asia’s “largest AI event” in Mumbai later this month, and the speaker lineup has Bollywood celebrities,
