Google DeepMind is a winner of the 2026 Gizmodo Science Fair for creating WeatherNext Cyclones, a highly accurate AI weather model that gives forecasters an extra day of warning.
The question
Can a single AI model accurately forecast both the track and intensity of tropical cyclones?
The results
Meteorologists rely on a variety of forecast models to predict and track tropical cyclones, and the emergence of AI has ushered in an entirely new class of tools. Whereas traditional physical models are built on the laws of physics, machine learning models use AI and historical data to extrapolate storm formation, intensification, and movement.
Forecasters…
