Find out how DeepMind is working to improve “nowcasting” – https://www.deepmind.com/blog/nowcasting-the-next-hour-of-rain – and learn more about their fellowship program – https:/ /www. deepmind.com/grants
There are two types of rain, and one of them is almost impossible to predict.

To learn more about this topic, start your Google search with these keywords:
– Front: a boundary separating air masses of different characteristics, such as air density, wind, temperature and humidity.
– Frontal rain: occurs when a warm air mass comes into contact with a colder air mass
– Convective rain: occurs when energy from the sun heats the Earth's surface, causing water to evaporate to form water vapor.
– Nowcasting: weather forecast limited to periods of less than a few hours
