Mozambique Retools Weather Tech for Impactful Forecasting

Cars That Think

Together, they aim to enhance the capacity for forecasting and responding to floods, droughts, and cyclones. Mozambiques high vulnerability to cyclones has driven the effective use of Mydewetra for whats called impact-based forecasting. Plus, the board connects through a satellite communication module in case local networks fail.
