Google says its AI weather model is getting better

Google has announced the launch of its WeatherNext 3 AI model, which is designed to be more accurate in predicting rain and snowfall. The new model can produce forecasts with unprecedented accuracy, offering a global picture that is five times sharper than its predecessor. WeatherNext 3 leverages real-time weather observations, allowing it to go beyond the data that most global AI models rely on. Samier Merchant, a research engineer at Google, states that this development marks a significant step toward improving weather prediction accuracy.
