Multi-million investment in rainfall prediction technology could ease climate change impact

Scientists are calling for investment in technology which will better predict rainfall.

A lack of progress in accurately predicting rainfall will hamper efforts to deal with the fallout of climate change, leading global scientists have warned.

In a paper published in Nature Climate Change, the scientists have called for a multinational $250m (€238m) annual investment in the technology and resources needed to better understand and predict rainfall, or the effects of climate change will be needlessly exacerbated.
