Google DeepMind has unveiled WeatherNext AI, a model that can predict a tropical cyclone's track, intensity and wind structure up to 15 days in advance. The system was built by researchers at Google DeepMind and Google Research, working with the National Hurricane Center, the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, the UK Met Office and other agencies. It was trained on roughly 20 terabytes of global atmospheric data and historical observations from 5,000 past storms. The model uses a unique combination of training, architecture and low-resolution inputs to bridge the gap between global weather forecasting and cyclone-specific prediction. The team says it achieves state-of-the-art accuracy. The announcement comes as Workday India released a separate report showing that while 89% of Indian employees say AI improves their work day, many are still burdened with disconnected systems that force humans to act as 'glue' between tools.
