Google has launched a new interactive map, Weather Lab: Cyclones, which shows AI-generated tropical cyclone forecasts and allows you to compare how different AI forecast models perform in comparison to traditional physics-based models.
If you’ve ever wondered how different forecasting models "see" a storm before it hits, or how accurate those predictions really are, Weather Lab: Cyclones provides a powerful new way to explore just that.
The centerpiece of Weather Lab: Cyclones is an interactive map that visualizes tropical cyclone tracks from both AI models and traditional physics-based models. It lets users explore the evolution of storms across time and across different predictive models.
Using the map you can select to view the historical tracks of hurricanes and toggle between different models to see how each predicted the path of a tropical cyclone. These comparisons allow you to evaluate how closely the AI models align with actual storm behavior and with more established forecasting systems.
Google is keen to point out that Weather Lab: Cyclones is experimental and it is not intended for public weather alerts or emergency planning. For official forecasts, you should always refer to national meteorological agencies.
