The team behind beloved Dark Sky has returned with a new weather app that shows multiple possible forecasts at once, helping you understand when predictions are reliable. Instead of pretending weather forecasting is perfect, Acme Weather embraces uncertainty with transparency.
More than 1,200 volunteer scientists are advancing weather and climate research through the American Meteorological Society, organizing conferences, reviewing groundbreaking research, and making critical weather predictions possible. These behind-the-scenes heroes are building the next generation of meteorologists while strengthening communities against extreme weather.
A startup launched by Stanford students is beating Europe's top weather agency at predictions using AI and 400 weather balloons. Their forecasts are now as accurate five days ahead as traditional models are just one day out.
Your weather app might say sunny, but you step outside to rain. A new network of 78 weather stations across Wisconsin is fixing that problem by measuring conditions right where you live.
A weather tech company just secured $175 million to launch satellites that will revolutionize how we predict storms and plan for the future. The new constellation will help everyone from farmers to delivery drivers make smarter decisions about weather.
The UAE just gave its top weather scientist a ministerial role to fight climate chaos with artificial intelligence. Dr. Abdulla Al Mandous will deploy cutting-edge AI systems to protect the nation from increasingly wild weather patterns.
A Finnish designer created Current Rothko, a weather app that matches your local forecast to one of 89 abstract paintings by artist Mark Rothko. Instead of just showing temperature and rain chances, it tells you what the day actually feels like.
A new satellite just reached its permanent home 1 million miles from Earth, where it will protect our planet from dangerous solar storms. SOLAR-1 is now standing guard between the sun and Earth, ready to give us early warning of incoming space weather.
Fijian farmers are reading wild yam vines, bee behavior, and breadfruit patterns to predict hurricanes months in advance. Pacific island nations are now combining these traditional methods with modern forecasting to better protect remote communities from extreme weather.
After years of blind spots in tracking deadly air pollution, South Africa is launching a $33 million overhaul to fix its broken monitoring network and save thousands of lives. More than half the country's air quality stations have been offline while pollution claims 42,000 lives annually.
NASA just approved two groundbreaking satellites that will help communities prepare for extreme weather and natural disasters years in advance. By 2030, these missions will give forecasters and emergency responders powerful new tools to protect lives.
A new tool transforms weather data into moving animations that reveal how our planet breathes, showing temperature changes and pollution patterns as they happen across the globe. The daily maps help people see Earth's interconnected systems in action.
Scientists created a wearable ultrasound patch that tracks fetal health continuously for hours, catching complications traditional scans might miss. The device could bring advanced pregnancy monitoring to areas without specialist doctors.
Namibia's latest weather forecast brings both a challenge and an opportunity for compassion. Meteorologists are asking residents to prepare for seven days of rainfall by protecting not just their crops and livestock, but their beloved pets too.
