Episode Title: INDIA MADE World’s ‘’MOST’’ Advanced Weather Supercomputer Ever #shorts Produced by: FactTechz Description: India has launched the Bharat Forecasting System (BFS), the world's most precise weather forecasting model, on May 26, 2025. Developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, BFS operates on a 6-kilometer grid, doubling the resolution of previous models and surpassing global standards set by the US, UK, and EU, which range between 9 to 14 km. The system is powered by 'Arka', a high-performance supercomputer with a computational capacity of 11.77 petaflops and 33 petabytes of storage. Arka reduces forecast processing time from 10 hours to just 4 hours, enabling timely and accurate weather predictions. BFS integrates data from 40 Doppler Weather Radars, with plans to expand to 100, enhancing real-time monitoring and short-term forecasts known as nowcasts. The system also utilizes satellite data from ...
