The aim of this paper is to investigate if rainfall prediction (nowcasting) can successively be made using a deep learning approach. The input to the networks are different spatiotemporal variables including forecasts from a NWP model. The results indicate that these networks has some predictive power and could be use in real application. Another interesting empirical finding relates to the usage of transfer learning from a domain which is not related instead of random initialization. Using pretrained parameters resulted in better convergence and overall performance than random initialization of the parameters.
