👋 Hey everyone! Google just launched WeatherNext 2. It’s their most advanced AI weather model yet! Up to 8× faster, hour-level resolution, and able to generate hundreds of realistic forecast scenarios from a single starting point. It now powers weather in Search, Gemini, Pixel, and Google Maps, and is available in Earth Engine, BigQuery, and Vertex AI.

 Aleksandar, is this an API devs used in their weather apps or an app we can use to check weather or a model that Google uses into their products?

Congrats on the launch! ⚡ As a user, I’m curious, how does WeatherNext 2 stay 8× faster while still capturing extreme events with that new generative model?

Awesome for us who R&R outdoors!
