Google has unveiled WeatherNext 2, an AI‑driven weather forecasting system that delivers faster, higher‑resolution predictions by simulating hundreds of possible outcomes in under a minute. Built with a Functional Generative Network and trained on individual variables such as temperature and wind speed, the model claims up to eight‑times faster processing and improved accuracy for 99.9% of variables up to 15 days out. WeatherNext 2 is being integrated across Google Search, Gemini, Pixel Weather, and Maps, with plans for broader API access. The technology aims to give users a richer view of weather uncertainty and supports sectors like renewable energy and emergency services. Ler mais
