Google AI launches WeatherNext 3 with 5x sharper forecasts

Google AI has unveiled WeatherNext 3, an advanced global weather AI model developed by Google DeepMind and Google Research. This new model offers prediction capabilities up to five times sharper than its predecessor, WeatherNext 2. Unlike traditional models that rely on physics-based simulations with a significant forecast lag, WeatherNext 3 utilizes live geostationary satellite observations and real-world data to update global forecasts hourly, providing more localized and timely insights. AI

IMPACT Enhances weather forecasting accuracy and speed, potentially benefiting billions globally with localized insights.
