Web-based tool providing guidance on hazard and weather forecasts to forecasters and decision-makers.
HIWAT are a set of web-based tool that provides guidance on hazard and weather forecasts to forecasters and decision-makers. The tools are tailored for the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region and further customized for Bangladesh and Nepal at the local level. These tools use a mesoscale numerical weather prediction model and the global precipitation measurement (GPM) constellation of satellites. The toolkit provides projections of weather events such as lightning strikes, high-impact winds, extreme rainfall and hail.
