Weather affects everything and everyone. Our latest AI model developed with Google Research is helping us better predict it. ☔ WeatherNext 2 is the latest in our family of weather models, able to generate more accurate and higher-resolution global forecasts. One core challenge in this field is capturing the full range of possible outcomes. With WeatherNext 2, we can: ☁️ Generate a full range of possible forecast scenarios in a single step. ☁️ Deliver up to 1-hour resolution global forecasts faster than ever. ☁️ Improve the efficiency of forecasting with an 8x increase in speed. ☁️Show superior skill across 99.9% of weather variables such as: temperature, wind, humidity, and pressure levels, compared to our previous model. WeatherNext 2 marks a significant leap for the scientific community and beyond. We’ve now incorporated WeatherNext technology on Google Search, the Gemini app, Pixel Weather and more - and in the coming weeks, it will also help power weather information in Google Maps.

Impressive work. What strikes me is that WeatherNext 2 is not just about “better forecasts,” it is about managing uncertainty with a richer set of probabilistic signals. In any high-stakes domain, the ability to model a full range of scenarios in one step and surface them clearly is what turns data into real decision power. The same principle applies to reputation and risk: the organizations that win are those that can see multiple futures early, not just one forecast late.
The efficiency and scale of WeatherNext 2 highlight how AI is reshaping scientific modeling. The ability to generate multiple forecast scenarios at once dramatically enhances resilience planning and real-time response capabilities.

4dThis is wild! An 8x increase in forecasting efficiency and 1-hour global resolution isn’t just an upgrade, it changes how we understand and respond to the world around us. 🤔 Weather impacts agriculture, infrastructure, logistics, safety… pretty much every system we rely on. So seeing WeatherNext 2 generate full-range scenarios in a single step feels like one of those “quiet breakthroughs” that will reshape entire industries efficiency before most people even realize what happened. As I transition into the AI space, innovations like this are exactly why I’m excited. Real models solving real problems at global scale. 📈 Like the way I think? I’m transitioning careers — let’s chat.
