GenCast AI

Google’s DeepMind team has unveiled a revolutionary AI-based weather prediction model called GenCast, which has outperformed the world’s leading weather forecasting system.

In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers at DeepMind confirmed that GenCast surpassed the capabilities of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), which is currently considered the best operational forecasting system globally.

According to Google, the AI model advances weather prediction by addressing uncertainties and risks while delivering faster and more accurate forecasts, extending up to 15 days ahead.

This innovation marks a significant milestone in weather forecasting, demonstrating the power of artificial intelligence to enhance accuracy and reliability in predicting weather patterns.
