Every day people use weather predictions – like choosing their bike over their car. In recent years, weather predictions became more and more accurate, however precise local rain forecasts are still challenging. Traditionally, flow models are used based on physical equations, but AI offers a new approach, which we test at wetter.com. Here we show the application of convolutional neural networks commonly used for image recognition and focus on our risk analysis of picking a bike over a car.
