Rechargeable batteries are promising clean energy technologies which can: serve as storage sources at local and grid-scale for wide deployment of a variety of renewable energy technologies, provide power sources for electric and hybrid vehicles for low-carbon or zero-carbon emission transportation systems, and provide power sources for various portable and wearable electronic devices.

Technological developments have underpinned the increase in accuracy of weather forecasts. In particular, from the mid-1960s the use of increasingly sophisticated numerical models coupled with an enhanced availability of observations have led to modern five-day forecasts being as accurate as one-day forecasts 50 years ago. These developments will be discussed along with benefits of having accurate weather forecasts.
