Last month FastNet, the AI weather model we're developing with @metoffice.gov.uk, predicted the high temperatures of May's heatwave 84hrs ahead. It captured the highest midday temperatures more closely than the current operational physics-based global model. Learn more: bit.ly/47JvdRm
Three heatmaps of the UK showing heatwave temperatures for 26 May 2026. The first heatmap shows the 'physics-based model' output - showing lower predicted temperatures than the 'FastNet' model map next to it, with the third map showing the observed weather at 12UTC on 26 May. Below the maps are the Met Office and The Alan Turing Institute logos with the text 'FastNet: Machine Learning Weather Prediction Model' to the bottom right of the graphic.
