A California company using autonomous balloons to collect weather data just landed a massive Air Force contract that could reshape how we predict storms. WindBorne Systems is already using its 700 flying sensors to improve forecasting accuracy worldwide.
Your phone knows a storm is coming before you see clouds overhead, thanks to India's network of 50 weather radars, 1,000 sensors, and AI that predicts rain down to your neighborhood. Here's how technology is keeping millions safe.
A powerful weather satellite is tracking dangerous storms over Nepal in real time, helping rescue teams stay safe after a devastating glacier collapse. The technology spots lightning 500 times per second to predict flash floods and landslides before they strike.
A new weather intelligence platform uses AI to help businesses make split-second decisions when storms approach. Cities now deploy snowplows faster, Uber positions drivers before rain, and airlines avoid cascading delays.
Scientists just launched a breakthrough radar system that can actually weigh clouds to predict weather and climate changes more accurately. The tiny three-signal instrument does what used to require multiple satellites.
A remote Australian town is finally getting its weather radar back after waiting 11 years, just months after devastating floods proved how desperately it was needed. The new technology will protect thousands across the Northern Territory's Barkly region.
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.
Bryan Allegretto and Joel Gratz turned their passion for powder into OpenSnow, the most trusted snow forecasting app in the world. What started as an email list of 37 people became a half-million-strong community that won't hit the slopes without checking their forecasts first.
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.
Scientists in Hong Kong just doubled the warning time for deadly storms using AI that learns from satellite images. The breakthrough could protect millions as extreme weather becomes more common.
New artificial intelligence models can predict weather in seconds instead of hours, making life-saving forecasts accessible to more communities worldwide. The technology is free and open to everyone.
