Google DeepMind Unveils WeatherNext 3 AI Model
Google DeepMind has launched WeatherNext 3, an AI model for global weather forecasting that generates high-resolution data with lower computational resources than traditional methods.
What happened?
Google DeepMind has introduced WeatherNext 3, a new AI model for global weather forecasting. The model generates high-resolution forecasts faster and with lower computational requirements than traditional numerical weather prediction models. WeatherNext 3 processes complex atmospheric data to predict temperature, precipitation, and wind on a global scale.

| Utvecklare | Google DeepMind |
| Tillgänglighet | Globalt via Vertex AI och Earth Engine |
Why it matters
Faster and more resource-efficient weather forecasting allows for more frequent updates to prediction models and more effective management of extreme weather events. By reducing reliance on heavy supercomputing, the barrier to entry for advanced meteorological analysis is lowered.
Who is affected?
The model is aimed at meteorological agencies, energy companies, the agricultural sector, and logistics firms that rely on precise weather data. It is available to researchers and commercial entities via Google’s cloud platforms.
Impact on the EU
WeatherNext 3 is available globally via Google Cloud Vertex AI and Google Earth Engine, meaning that European meteorological institutes and companies within EU member states have full access to the model in compliance with current cloud regulations.
What else you should know
The solution builds on Google DeepMind's previous research in machine learning for geosciences and aims to reduce the computational resources required for global weather forecasting.
