Every day, the weather influences billions of decisions. Some are as simple as grabbing an umbrella before heading out the door, but others are far more consequential. Wind, rain, and extreme weather events, like heatwaves and droughts, have cascading impacts across agriculture, global supply chains, clean energy production, and national economies.

In recent years, AI has revolutionized weather forecasting, using historical records to make faster and more accurate predictions than traditional methods. Yet predicting highly local and rapidly changing weather has remained a challenge. Previous models often lacked sufficient spatial resolution, and struggled to incorporate real-time weather data from sources like satellites.

Today, Google DeepMind and Google Research are introducing ...
