Description	The UK's Met Office has switched to a new supercomputer hosted on Microsoft Azure for weather forecasting workloads. The project started in 2021 with a £1.2bn contract awarded to Microsoft to develop a dedicated supercomputer. The first phase began in 2022, with a second phase planned for 2028 to expand the system threefold. The supercomputer operates in a dedicated Microsoft facility optimized for power, cooling, and networking, and handles 200-300 terabytes of data per day, enabling 14-day weather forecasts with improved accuracy.
