No physics? No problem. AI weather forecasting is already making strides

AI weather forecasting is significantly advancing as it may revolutionize predictions during the impending historic hurricane season. Utilizing extensive data sets like the publicly available ERA5, AI models provide superior outputs to traditional methods, some already surpassing decades-old global weather models without needing powerful supercomputers.

• AI can forecast weather using desktop computers.
• ERA5 contains rich atmospheric data since 1940.
• Machine learning is key to future forecasting.
• WindBorne Systems innovates atmospheric data collection.
• AI models compete with government-funded forecasts.
