Reports show that an added barometer sensor might make its way to the anticipated flagship which can be used to predict weather among other things. It also collects air pressure data which can be used to predict temperature and weather information. With the possible integration of this sensor to the upcoming iPhone 6, we can see an additional feature targeted towards cyclists, hikers, and other active individuals that need an accurate weather report before setting foot out of the house. Google’s DeepMind team has introduced GenCast, an AI-driven weather forecasting model, claiming it surpasses the world’s leading operational forecasting system, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts’ ENS. GenCast utilizes a probabilistic ensemble approach, generating over 50 potential weather scenarios to model complex probability distributions of future weather. Trained on four decades of global weather data, GenCast can deliver high-resolution (0.25°) 15-day forecasts in just 8 minutes using Google’s Cloud TPU infrastructure. DeepMind describes GenCast as a significant step forward in weather prediction, particularly in improving extreme weather forecasts.
