Why Google’s smarter weather might be the most useful AI in your life

WeatherNext2.
  • Google has launched a new AI-powered forecasting model called WeatherNext 2
  • WeatherNext 2 has faster, more accurate, and higher-resolution predictions by simulating hundreds of possible weather outcomes in under a minute
  • WeatherNext 2 is now powering forecasts in Google Search, Gemini, Pixel, and Maps

Google is overhauling your weather forecast with AI that thinks in probabilities. Rather than new radar towers or satellite launches, the new WeatherNext 2 AI-based forecasting model developed by Google DeepMind and Google Research delivers results up to eight times faster than traditional systems and can predict hundreds of possible weather outcomes from a single starting point at higher resolution and with better accuracy than its predecessors.
