A pilot satellite platform being introduced on a pilot basis in Thailand is aimed at improving high-precision weather forecasting and disaster warning systems. He said the cabinet had approved a three-month pilot project to upgrade Thailand's weather forecasting and disaster warning systems by integrating the Tomorrow.io satellite platform with the existing system of the Thai Meteorological Deartment. The system can deliver near-real-time data updates within one hour, provide a flood index tailored to specific areas at the subdistrict level, and produce weather forecasts up to seven days in advance. These features would upgrade the real-time warning system and significantly strengthen Thailand's disaster preparedness. Beyond weather forecasting and disaster alerts, several agencies expressed interest in broader applications of the platform.
