US National Hurricane Center adds Google DeepMind AI model to forecast guidance
Overview
The US National Hurricane Center has added Google DeepMind's AI model to some of its hurricane track and intensity forecast guidance systems, according to NHC business chief Dan Brown.
The NHC began using AI models in live operations in late June 2025, and DeepMind's model is one of the systems now included. A DeepMind study in Nature, published in August, says the model reaches the accuracy of the previous model one day earlier and generates 1,000 possible development scenarios per cyclone. Brown says human hurricane experts remain essential for weighing each model against real-time aircraft and satellite data.
