    Today, in a paper published in Nature, we show that the WeatherNext AI model by Google DeepMind and Google Research teams achieved state-of-the-art accuracy in predicting a cyclone's track, intensity, and wind structure. We’ve also open sourced the code and model weights today, making them freely available for all. On average, the model extends accurate forecasting by an additional day - it can predict three days ahead with the accuracy previous models achieved with only two. This scale of improvement corresponds roughly to a decade’s worth of meteorological progress historically. ✨ Bridging Global and Local Scales: Traditional physics-based Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models have historically struggled to efficiently handle both massive global atmospheric currents (which steer a cyclone's track) and highly localized processes around its core (which contribute to drive intensity). WeatherNext Cyclones bridges this gap as a single AI model trained end-to-end on global atmospheric analyses and historical storm databases. ✨ Uncertainty Modeling with FGNs: Using Functional Generative Networks (FGNs), the system can now generate 1,000-member ensembles using less than a TPU-minute per sample, empowering forecasters to evaluate devastating tail-risks like rapid intensification events.  ✨ Surprising Efficiency: While traditional specialized intensity models require ultra-high resolutions (such as 2x2km pixels), WeatherNext Cyclones only needs a coarser 28x28km input resolution proving that extreme high resolution is not strictly required for state-of-the-art intensity forecasting.  ✨ Real-World Impact & Open Source: During the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, WeatherNext helped the National Hurricane Center make a historic forecast for Hurricane Melissa five days in advance. To accelerate the field, the model weights and code for WeatherNext Cyclones and WeatherNext 2 are now open source-including a lightweight model that runs on a single TPU in a public Colab notebook. WeatherNext showcases the potential of AI to help build more resilient communities, providing local forecasters and emergency responders worldwide with the tools they need to proactively protect lives and infrastructure.
