Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how Microsoft’s AI-driven weather model Aurora is emerging as a major player in weather forecasting. Trained on over a million hours of simulations, Aurora excels even in challenging forecasting environments. McIntyre highlights this development amid concerning staff shortages at NOAA and key National Weather Service offices, which may leave the U.S. increasingly dependent on private sector innovations for life-saving forecasts.
