Weather Next 3: AI-Powered Global Weather Forecasting at 5 km Resolution

This video introduces Weather Next 3, Google's latest AI-powered global weather model. It explains how the model combines real-time observations with machine learning to produce hourly forecasts at up to 5 km resolution, addressing the limitations of traditional physics-based forecasting.

■ From physics-based to AI forecasting
- Traditional models are expensive and trade off resolution for global coverage
- AI learns from historical observations to deliver faster, more accurate forecasts

■ Weather Next 3 features and uses
- Hourly updates with up to 5 km resolution using real-time satellite data
- Predicts temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, and precipitation
- Adds wind and solar metrics for renewable energy
- Available on Google Search, Gemini, and Maps

Viewers interested in AI applications in meteorology or the practical impact of high-resolution weather data will learn how Weather Next 3 works and where it can be applied.
