Artificial intelligence (AI) is the buzz these days, providing countless ideas and solutions for both the workplace and in home life matters. But how does AI have the potential to deliver more accurate weather forecasts? What about helping the world adapt to climate issues? Read on for what some of the experts are saying about the future of AI as it relates to weather and the climate.

Benefits of AI in the Weather World

There is no doubt that AI is already transforming the art of weather forecasting and climate prediction. Rather than taking hours to run multiple forecasts across a basic supercomputer, a trained AI system can spit out the same forecast in mere minutes. The speed at which AI can provide a weather forecast could save countless lives. Faster and more accurate forecasts translate to earlier warnings for tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires.

In addition to short-term weather forecasting, AI can also be used to model long-range climate trends. This information can assist scientists in understanding the future of global temperature and precipitation patterns.

AI is also showing promise in taking over tedious tasks that involve large quantities of data. The latest AI tools offer an accelerated model that goes beyond the surface level of traditional weather forecasts.
