  • Abstract
    CloudCast provides clients with personalized short-term weather forecasts based on their current location using cloud services, generating accurate forecasts tens of minutes in the future for small areas. Results show that it takes less than 2 minutes from the start of data sampling to deliver a 15-minute forecast to a client.
