What organizations can learn from the weather

Weather is never out of the news. From an extreme and later than normal hurricane season in the US to record-breaking cold snaps in China and Korea all within the space of a few weeks, it’s fairly obvious that we should care about forecasting. Especially as we’re likely to get more extreme weather in the future. This week, we take a look at how experts and tech companies are developing up-to-the-minute solutions to predicting our weather woes.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organisations and what we can learn from it.
