Google has launched the new application WeatherNext 2, the latest version of its AI-based weather forecasting model.
This new version has been deployed in a way that promises more accurate and even faster weather predictions using advanced machine learning and satellite data.
WeatherNext 2 is now designed to provide the proper forecasts that are not only highly accurate but would also be something that would get delivered in real-time, thus helping governments, various businesses, and even individuals take timely action during weather-related events.
WeatherNext 2 also uses the mechanism of deep learning to analyse all the huge sets of atmospheric data.
It also helps to predict the weather changes at a local level, which means it can better forecast sudden events like the thunderstorms, heatwaves, or even heavy rain within a few minutes.
Google also now says the model can give precise forecasts up to 10 days in advance, which is more detailed than any other present traditional weather systems.
One major improvement that has been made in WeatherNext 2 is its speed.
It runs forecasts faster by using the aid of optimised AI chips, which would thus allow users to get instant updates.
This could also help people with alert systems, farmers, airlines, and even various kinds of urban planners who need weather data to make decisions.
The model also learns from all the past weather events to improve future predictions.
Google also plans to integrate the system of WeatherNext 2 into its products, like Google Search, Maps, and Android weather widgets.
This will allow millions of people around the world to access the weather report in a better way and even get various related alerts directly on their devices.
Experts also believe this could change how weather warnings are issued to users and even help to reduce damage caused by natural disasters.
If the application is being widely used, WeatherNext 2 may also help save lives and protect various kinds of property by giving more accurate warnings.
