Should increase forecast accuracy.

Shouldn't that be Cray to build supercomputer, or more correctly
to install it?

I can't help wondering why they didn't install a Cray rather than
an IBM six years ago. A cheaper option perhaps.

Indeed - I don't think the Met Office are going to compete with the
likes of IBM in building computers. I wonder really if that amount of
money is getting into the realms of diminishing returns. I didn't think
it was long ago I read about a new super computer. Is this another one
or just the other one being delayed?
