Google DeepMind predicts weather more accurately than leading system

AI program GenCast performed better than ENS forecast at predicting day-to-day weather and paths of hurricanes and cyclones

For those who keep an eye on the elements, the outlook is bright: researchers have built an artificial intelligence-based weather forecast that makes faster and more accurate predictions than the best system available today.

GenCast, an AI weather program from Google DeepMind, performed up to 20% better than the ENS forecast from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), widely regarded as the world leader.
