Google's AI Model Revolutionizes 15-Day Weather Forecasting

Google's DeepMind has introduced GenCast, an AI model for weather prediction that reportedly surpasses the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' ENS, the leading operational forecasting system. GenCast uses an ensemble approach, generating multiple predictions to create a probability distribution of future weather scenarios. In tests, it was more accurate than ENS 97.2% of the time. Google plans to integrate GenCast into its services like Search and Maps, and will make its forecasts available for public use.
