Abstract

In the final paper in this series, we review how remarkable advances in weather forecasting over successive decades have changed the role of the UK guidance forecaster. We then look at what might happen to this role in the future by examining how the continued growth of artificial intelligence might impact upon weather forecasting and whether forecasts will continue to improve. By contrast we also consider aspects such as risks to the observing network, which could potentially have an adverse effect. We also ask "will the weather forecaster still have a role in the future?"
