AI is good at weather forecasting. Can it predict freak weather events?

  • AI weather models can accurately predict everyday weather but often fail to forecast rare, unprecedented events like Category 5 hurricanes.
  • Integrating physics-principles into AI models could improve accuracy for extreme scenarios.

Increasingly powerful AI models can make short-term weather forecasts with surprising accuracy. But neural networks only predict based on patterns from the past—what happens when the weather does something that’s…
