In this article, a nowcasting technique for meteorological radar images based on a generative neural network is presented. This technique’s performance is compared with state-of-the-art optical flow procedures. Both methods have been validated using a public domain data set of radar images, covering an area of about 104 km2 over Japan, and a period of five years with a sampling frequency of five minutes. The performance of the neural network, trained with three of the five years of data, forecasts with a time horizon of up to one hour, evaluated over one year of the data, proved to be significantly better than those obtained with the techniques currently in use.
