article_snippet.sent: The days of weather presenters (stock image) could be numbered .Researchers from London and Edinburgh Edinburgh have developed a computer that can collate meterological information and then produce forecasts as if meterological information were written by a human.
article_snippet.sent: These computer-generated weather updates are being being tested by scientists at Heriot-Watt University and University College London.
article_snippet.sent: Using Met Office data, Researchers from London and Edinburgh are developing new algorithms for automatically generating detailed reports.
article_snippet.sent: If the project is successful, a prototype system will be tested by generating local weather reports on the BBC's website.
article_snippet.sent: Currently, the BBC's website features 10 reports written by meteorologists.
article_snippet.sent: Each of these forecasts cover a large area of the country, such as London and South East England, but there are more than 20,000 individual locations that need tailored reports.
