Explained in plain English

What is machine learning?

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence where computers learn from data without being explicitly programmed. In weather forecasting, it means the system gets better at predicting by analysing more and more historical weather data and outcomes. This continuous learning process allows AI to spot subtle patterns that might be missed by human analysis.
