01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Hyperlocal weather Monitoring is an AI solution that takes the context of each demand driver within each individual location to make accurate weather forecasting in the most granular level. Hyperlocal weather monitoring with artificial intelligence is crucial in order to improve the present technology on weather forecasting in order to provide a real time data on temperature, rainfall and humidity which will enable the farmers to make an informed decision on agriculture like irrigation, early crop plant and pesticide control in order to reduce the impacts of severe weather event. Tanzania agricultural sector is highly vulnerable to El Nino which has occured in this rainfall season leading to devastating flood, landslides, and crop failures, jeopardizing food security and livelihood. This project propose for groundbreaking weather monitoring system that leverage hyperlocal forecasting and mitigate severe weather event that directly affect agriculture negatively by using AI

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Recent El Nino event in Tanzania showcased the limitation of existing technology on weather forecasting. Despite Tanzania meteorological Authority issued early warning but the impact was too severe due to limited granularity of national forecasting which lacks more details to predict specific impacts on microclimate and local communities, challenge on reaching rural communities and lack of real time data on localized weather events. TMA have the challenges of sparse weather stations which forecast weather events in general but do not address the specific local area also with inaccurate forecast for specific local locations, incomplete picture of weather variation across tanzania and forecast represent large area missing hyperlocal factors. Hyperlocal weather monitoring with AI will provide more relevant informations and real time data, also will capture the data sources in a full range of microclimate and increased granularity allowing forecasting in local areas especially in rural.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

Increased accuracy and granularity. Traditional weather stations have limited coverage especially in rural areas and geographically complex areas. By using Hyperlocal weather monitoring powered by AI can utilize various data source like satellite imagery, sensor data from weather stations and existing data which will provide more accurate pictures of weather conditions at specific locsl locations. Improved early warning systems. AI powered hyperlocal monitoring system will improve early warning system crucial for flood warning especially areas prone to rapid water level changes, detecting and prediction of formation of microclimates like hailstorms and providing real time advice for public safety during extreme weather event. Enhanced decision making. Hyperlocal weather monitoring with AI will empower individuals to make better decision based on real time weather condition. For example farmers make informed decision about irrigation and crop protection based on real-time data.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adressera le produit/service de votre projet. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?
