Introducing WeatherNext 3, our most advanced and accurate global weather AI model

Google DeepMind introduced WeatherNext 3, an advanced AI weather forecasting model that generates hourly predictions at much higher detail (5-kilometer resolution, roughly five times sharper than the previous version) by incorporating real-time satellite data instead of relying on older numerical weather prediction models. The model can predict local weather events like storms and precipitation more accurately because it uses continuously updated satellite observations rather than data with a six-hour lag, making it useful for decisions ranging from personal planning to agriculture and energy production.
