Google's DeepMind team has just dropped a weather bombshell with their new AI model, GenCast, which is making waves in the meteorological world.
According to a recent paper published in Nature, GenCast is outshining the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts’ ENS, which has long been the reigning champion of weather prediction.
So, what makes GenCast so special? Well, unlike its predecessor, which was a bit of a one-trick pony with its single, best guess at future weather, GenCast is like a meteorological magician. It conjures up an ensemble of 50 or more predictions, each representing a different weather path. This creates a rich tapestry of potential weather scenarios, offering a complex probability distribution rather than a simple forecast.
The DeepMind team put GenCast to the test by training it on weather data up to 2018 and then pitting its predictions against actual 2019 weather. The result? GenCast nailed it 97.2 percent of the time, leaving ENS in the dust.

But wait, there's more! Google is not just keeping this weather wizardry to itself. GenCast is being integrated into Google Search and Maps, so soon, you might find yourself checking the weather and getting a forecast that's more accurate than ever before. Plus, Google plans to release both real-time and historical forecasts from GenCast, making them available for anyone to use in their research and models.
In short, GenCast is set to revolutionise how we predict the weather, making it a must-watch for property professionals and business owners who rely on accurate forecasts. So, grab your umbrellas and sunglasses, because with GenCast, you'll always be prepared for whatever the weather throws your way!
