WeatherNext: AI model achieves breakthrough in forecasting cyclones
August 6, 2026 ScienceWeatherNext: AI model achieves breakthrough in forecasting cyclonesWeatherNext team Share CopiedWeatherNext enables accurate cyclone forecasts that can give an extra day of warning. Now we are open sourcing the model.Predicting how dangerous cyclones develop is a longstanding challenge where every hour counts. Tropical cyclones — also known as hurricanes or typhoons — are among the most destructive weather phenomena on Earth, responsible for more than 700,000 deaths and $1.4 trillion in economic losses globally over the past 50 years.
