Abstract

There is a huge opportunity for the African continent to benefit from the ?silent revolution? in weather forecasting that has been realised in the mid-latitudes throughout the twentieth century. While there are tremendous societal and economic benefits from advancing the science behind weather forecasting in sub-Saharan Africa, there are also significant barriers to realising advances. This policy brief examines the value of investment in African weather forecasting science and the technical communication challenges that this will bring with wider implementation.
