A new artificial intelligence weather forecasting model developed by researchers has demonstrated superior accuracy compared to conventional physics-based models in global medium-range forecasts. The AI system, trained on decades of historical weather data, can predict atmospheric conditions up to 10 days ahead with greater precision and at a fraction of the computational cost. It excels at predicting extreme weather events, including hurricanes and heatwaves, with earlier and more accurate warnings. The model’s efficiency allows for rapid scenario generation, aiding emergency preparedness. While promising, researchers note it must be integrated with traditional methods for nowcasting and local-scale predictions.
