Google's WeatherNext 3 ditches physics simulations and learns weather directly from live satellite data

Google's WeatherNext 3 replaces traditional physics simulations with direct satellite data processing for faster, higher-resolution weather forecasting.

WeatherNext 3 eliminates the six-hour delay inherent in numerical weather prediction models by training directly on real-time geostationary satellite data. The model provides hourly forecasts at a 5km resolution, offering significant improvements for regions with limited historical weather data.
