The African Rainfall Project, spearheaded by Nick van de Giesen and Camille Le Coz from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, aims to revolutionize weather predictions in Africa. Despite advancements in global weather forecasting, Africa still faces challenges due to sparse ground measurements and the intricate nature of convective storms. By utilizing the TAMO project, the team is working to bridge these gaps and enhance rainfall forecasts.

Through the World Community Grid, they leverage the collective computing power of thousands of machines to achieve finer resolution weather simulations, enabling a more accurate prediction of convective storms in sub-Saharan Africa. With simulations already underway at a remarkable 1km scale across the region, the African Rainfall Project is paving the way for improved forecasting capabilities. Stay tuned for the upcoming interactive website to access these groundbreaking simulations
