AI and the future of weather forecasting
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we predict the weather.
Instead of relying only on traditional physics-based models, scientists are now using decades of atmospheric data and machine learning to deliver faster, more accurate, and more affordable forecasts. This video explains how AI is reshaping weather prediction worldwide — from harnessing satellite reanalysis to building high‑resolution models, reducing costs, and supporting sustainability. It also highlights the global collaboration driving these advances, and the challenges of ensuring every country has equal access to this powerful technology.
