Google says its AI weather model is getting better

Google is rolling out an updated AI weather model that's supposed to be more accurate, especially when it comes to predicting rain and snowfall. In the announcement today, the company says it's now able to make forecasts with "unprecedented resolution" using its new WeatherNext 3 AI model.

It can produce a global picture that's five times sharper than Google's previous model by learning from real-time weather observations, according to the company.
