DeepMind’s hurricane breakthrough has surprised weather scientists
AI weather models like WeatherNext can now make accurate predictions using lower-resolution data, helping scientists forecast storms with greater confidence. This breakthrough could improve early warnings and preparedness, especially in vulnerable regions. The advance shows how AI is making weather science more precise and accessible.
In October 2025, a storm brewed over the Caribbean Sea. Weather models differed on its trajectory. Would it remain weak and end up in Haiti, or would it intensify and head to Jamaica? Artificial intelligence model WeatherNext, developed by Google’s DeepMind and Google Research, went with the latter.…
