AI: Google WeatherNext 3

 WeatherNext 3: Our most advanced global weather AI model

Google DeepMind and Google Research introduced WeatherNext 3, an advanced global weather forecasting AI model that incorporates real-time satellite observations.

• High-Resolution & Hourly Refreshes: Produces hourly forecasts with spatial resolutions up to 5 km for key surface variables (temperature, moisture), 10 km for other surface metrics, and 25 km for atmospheric variables—five times sharper than WeatherNext 2.
  
  
• Real-Time Data Ingestion: Bypasses traditional numerical weather prediction lag by training directly on live geostationary satellite mosaics and sparse ground station data, enabling continuous rapid updates for localized weather shifts.
  
  
• Enhanced Precipitation Accuracy: Trained on NASA’s IMERG and satellite radar data, showing up to a 60% CRPS accuracy improvement for early lead times.
  
  
• Clean Energy Forecasting: Directly predicts 100-meter wind speeds for wind turbines and high-resolution cloud cover/solar radiation for solar farm output planning.
  
  
• Product Integration: Powers weather experiences across Google Search, Gemini, Maps, Google Maps Platform Weather API, and Earth Engine, while raw data is accessible via BigQuery and Google Cloud Storage.
