If you buy one and end up hating the games, install Windows or Linux on it, and you've got enough processing power to do local weather forecasting.
Some of the largest and most sophisticated computer environments in the world were in governments where they have long been used for functions such as weather forecasting and nuclear weapons research.

Wildfire forecasting, then, is like weather forecasting only more difficult.
The committee's report, which pointed out that the winter was the third in a row with severe weather, said that better weather forecasting could help warn the country to be more prepared.
Throughout most of its history, weather forecasting has been done by national governments, although, since any rain forecast for London incorporates data collected from as far away as Fiji, they have to co-operate.
The country has plans for better satellite communications, broadcasting facilities, weather forecasting and Earth observation missions all of which will have a dual civilian and military role, but none of which need be manned.
Anyone that's ever tried to plan an outdoor activity in advance knows that weather forecasting is not an exact science, but the perpetual sky-watchers at NASA may have inadvertently found a way to improve these guesstimations.

The traditional knowledge surrounding Lenjes includes oral literature, performing arts and festivals, in addition to the sailing and navigation techniques and terminology and weather forecasting that are closely associated with sailing, and the skills of wooden boat-building itself.
But it has inspired other schemes, including a Stanford University study of how protein chains fold in on themselves and a global weather-forecasting model at the Rutherford Appleton Lab in Britain.
These include a joint clean energy research and development center, the establishment of a global disease detection center in India, and an agreement for cooperation in weather and crop forecasting.
