New Delhi: Earth Sciences Minister Harsh Vardhan on Monday launched a mobile application that will provide city-wise weather forecasts, nowcasts, and other warnings.

Speaking at the event, Vardhan said huge financial investments are needed, at least twice the present budget, to augment observational networks, replace old ships and procure new computing resources.
