Tomorrow Science Google open-sources an AI model it says can help with earlier hurricane warnings WeatherNext can deliver a 15-day forecast predicting storms’ track and intensity. By Anna Washenko Aug. 6, 2026 6:40 pm EST Google Researchers from the Google DeepMind and Google Research teams have helped train the WeatherNext AI weather prediction model to offer improved cyclone warnings. The National Hurricane Center, the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, the UK Met Office and other weather agencies around the world also contributed to the model's development. Both the code and the model weights behind the project are being made open source on GitHub, so other scientists can also take advantage of this work.
