Abstract. Communicating the scientific data of the weather
forecasts to the general public has always been a challenge. Using computer
graphics' visual representations to convey the message to average people has
certainly helped a lot to popularize the weather forecast consumption by the
general public. However, these representations are not information rich
since they are abstractions; moreover they are not very actionable on the
receiver side to help one decide how s/he will “live” the forecast weather
conditions and prepare appropriately. Therefore, there is a need to
personalize the forecast based on past experience of the individuals and
their personal needs. The forecast has to become more human- and
needs-oriented and more focused to the particular requirements of each
individual person. We, thus, propose a new co-creation process in which the
audience is called to provide a daily feedback on how they lived the weather
conditions personally on a daily basis, so that, “my personal forecast”
can be produced making the forecast more actionable on the user side.
Preliminary such attempts focused solely on the “feels like” temperature
forecasts. To arrive at the “my personal forecast”, artificial
intelligence based recommender systems need to be applied, using fuzzy logic
as the appropriate method for the user to express the individually perceived
weather conditions.
