US EditionDeepMind's AI Weather Model Outperforms Traditional Forecasting Systems
- Google DeepMind has announced that its new AI model, GenCast, can accurately predict weather and detect extreme weather risks.
- GenCast outperformed the previous system ENS on 97.2% of weather targets and 99.8% at lead times over 36 hours.
- GenCast consistently provided better predictions for extreme weather conditions, including extreme heat, cold, and high wind speeds.
- More accurate weather forecasts can aid officials in protecting lives, reducing damages, and saving money.

Google’s new AI model outperforms world’s best weather forecast system
New Delhi: Google’s DeepMind team has unveiled an AI model for weather prediction called GenCast which has outperformed the top weather forecast system in the world. In a paper published in the journal Nature, researchers at DeepMind said GenCast outperforms the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts’ (ECMWF), which is the world’s top operational forecasting system. “New AI model advances the prediction of weather uncertainties and …
Google’s AI weather prediction model is pretty darn good
People shelter under umbrellas from the wind and rain as they cross a road near Shinjuku train station on October 12, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan ahead of Typhoon Hagibis’ expected landfal later in the evening. | Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images GenCast, a new AI model from Google DeepMind, is accurate enough to compete with traditional weather forecasting. It managed to outperform a leading forecast model when tested on data from 2019, according to r…
Google researchers have built an AI model that makes more accurate weather forecasts than existing models. Promising technology, which can certainly be important in major disasters. "But human judgment and communication remain crucial," says weatherman Bram Verbruggen.
What to Know About Google's Breakthrough Weather Prediction Model
Whether you’re here for the weather or the AI applications, there’s plenty to like about GenCast and the broader suite of DeepMind forecasting models. The accuracy of such tools will be paramount for predicting extreme weather events with enough lead time to protect those in harm’s way, be it from floods in Appalachia or tornadoes in Florida.
