Recent advancements in artificial intelligence are transforming weather prediction, with new AI models demonstrating competitive accuracy against established numerical weather prediction systems. These machine learning models, trained on decades of historical atmospheric data, can generate forecasts in minutes rather than hours. While they show particular strength in short-to-medium-range predictions, experts note they currently serve as powerful complementary tools rather than replacements, as they may struggle with extreme, rare events not well-represented in training data. The integration of AI is poised to enhance forecast speed and resource efficiency significantly. Read the full article: https://technologyreview.com/2024/05/15/ai-weather-forecasting-models
