KOTA BARU: Malaysia's weather forecasts are expected to be faster and more accurate with the development of a new numerical weather prediction system by the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).
Datuk Nor Yahati Awang, the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry's deputy secretary-general (Environmental Sustainability), said the system will utilise a supercomputer with a processing speed of six petaflops, and be housed at the Public Sector Data Centre in Kulim, Kedah.
