DeepMind Says Its AI Can Predict Hurricanes Earlier Than Everyone Else

Researchers say the open-sourced WeatherNext model can accurately predict both a storm’s track and intensity using lower-resolution weather data, though the team does not yet fully understand the underlying mechanism. The announcement is a potentially useful forecasting innovation, but it is not tied to any near-term financial or market-moving catalyst.
