    The Caribbean Development Bank plans to establish a meteorological station on a Caribbean island to forecast weather in the region. A supercomputer is suitable because it can process large amounts of data quickly and connect local networks throughout the Caribbean to form a wide area network via telecommunication lines. Supercomputers are still used in industries like oil exploration, aerospace engineering, and pharmaceutical research besides weather forecasting.
