Google DeepMind Introduces WeatherNext 3 Weather Model

Google DeepMind and Google Research announced WeatherNext 3, their most advanced global weather AI model. It trains directly on raw weather station observations and real-time satellite data to deliver hourly high-resolution forecasts, precise precipitation predictions, and clean energy variables. The system provides a five times resolution boost in temperature forecasts and captures localized microclimates. WeatherNext 3 now powers forecasts in Google Search, Gemini, Maps, and Google Maps Platform. Developers and researchers can access the data via BigQuery, Earth Engine, and GCS. Independent live evaluations from Brightband rate the predictions state-of-the-art.
