SHANGHAI, Aug 11 (Reuters) - As meteorologists tracked Typhoon Dolphin's path toward China in recent days, a new generation of artificial intelligence weather models worked alongside traditional forecasting systems, highlighting ‌China's emergence as a leading player in the race to improve weather prediction.
Chinese-developed systems, including Shanghai AI Laboratory-developed ‌Fengwu, Huawei's Pangu and Fudan University's **** i, are among a handful of AI forecasting models that researchers say can generate forecasts much faster than conventional systems while matching or surpassing them on some measures of accuracy.
For decades, weather prediction has relied on numerical models running on supercomputers that simulate atmospheric physics. AI models instead learn patterns from vast archives of historical weather observations and can produce forecasts in a fraction of the time. The technology is increasingly being tested during typhoon season in East Asia, where even small improvements in track ‌forecasts can help authorities better prepare for ⁠flooding, organise evacuations and manage potential transport disruptions.
The rise of AI weather forecasting has created a new arena of competition among technology companies, research institutes and meteorological agencies, with China emerging as ⁠one of the field's leading players.

It's looking to be a perfect day for the 49th running of Utica's Boilermaker Road Race, with the Binghamton National Weather Service predicting a cool morning from racers.
The annual event reached its entry caps at the end of June with 4,500 runners signed up for the 5K run through the city presented by Utica National and 11,000 for the featured 15K.
Binghamton National Weather Service Meteorologist Adam Gill said the average temperature for the Road Race weekend to be in the mid to upper 80s.
"It looks like it will be mostly sunny through the day, with cloud cover only being about five to ten percent," Gill explained, adding that Sunday is looking dry with winds of about three miles per hour.
Currently, Gill said there looked to be no signs of precipitation on race day. "The humidity will be on the lower end, but definitely drink water and wear sunscreen."

As France braces for another heatwave, it's barely recovered from the last one. Meteorologists expect scorching temperatures to return this week, and with them, the same question that was asked repeatedly in June: why won't France just turn on the air conditioning?
Some people are already taking things into their own hands. Dozens of people lined up outside several Lidl stores across the Paris region on Thursday, all hoping to get their hands on an air conditioning unit. In Aubervilliers, a Paris suburb, the doors gave way under the pressure of the crowd, and fights broke out among shoppers. "I saw people get trampled," one shopper told Le Parisien newspaper. "I was in shock, I got shoved around in every direction, and unfortunately I didn't leave with an AC unit," another said.
Only around 24% of French households have air conditioning according to France's energy transition agency – up from 18% just two years ago, but still far below the roughly 50% seen in neighboring Italy.
Alexia, a 26-year-old living on the outskirts of Paris, says she caved when she found out another heatwave was on the way. "All the air conditioners I had seen to potentially buy were out of stock. So I rushed to get another one before there was absolutely none left."
Meanwhile, just 7% of French schools are equipped with AC, and thousands closed their doors last week as temperatures in the classroom became unbearable. With more than 2,000 excess deaths recorded over six days at the peak of the June heat, according to health authorities, France's cultural resistance to AC has started to soften.

If you will allow me to put my armchair meteorologist hat on, I read an article somewhere about how this heat dome that's been causing temperatures to skyrocket in recent days has been collapsing since Thursday. As such, that's been causing enough of a disruption in the atmosphere to where thunderstorms are even more likely to pop up than usual.
So with that being said, it's not particularly surprising that the weather is a bit spotty over Truist Park in Cobb County and as of right now, the tarp is reportedly on the field and has been since around noon.

El Niño has formed in the Pacific Ocean and is expected to intensify in the coming months, meteorologists say.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Friday that El Niño conditions have developed in the tropical Pacific and could "strengthen rapidly".
"El Niño conditions are already underway and are forecast to strengthen rapidly into a strong event, as accurately anticipated by WMO forecasts," said WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo. "This will intensify the chances of drought and heavy rainfall and the risk of heatwaves on land and marine heatwaves in many regions of the world."
It said latest data indicated a "rapid development" into a strong El Niño event during July–September 2026
Last month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officially confirmed the arrival of El Niño, a prolonged period of warming sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, which affects weather patterns across the globe.

(NEXSTAR) – Two heat domes are preparing to join forces, sending temperatures soaring around the U.S. next week.
The first heat dome is developing in the southwest while the second is forming over the subtropical Atlantic, said Jeff Berardelli, chief meteorologist at Nexstar's WFLA.
They'll be replaced by one larger heat dome set to park itself over the center of the U.S. by the Fourth of July holiday.
"This could be the first widespread, significant heat wave of 2026 for much of the South and Midwest," said Nexstar meteorologist Blake Matthews. "Unlike the record-breaking heat that scorched the desert southwest earlier this year, this event is targeting areas that haven't experienced prolonged extreme temperatures yet this season."
Heat domes are basically high-pressure weather systems that trap heat and humidity in one area for a few days.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — It's tempting, albeit short-sighted, to view Scottie Scheffler's Saturday at Shinnecock through the lens of his last two holes. Had he made the seven-foot par putt after an exceptional bunker shot on 17, and had he holed the downhill four-foot birdie putt on 18, he'd have finished at three under, just three shots behind Wyndham Clark, who was fighting his own battles many holes behind. It would have guaranteed Scheffler a spot in the final group and given Clark a few unsettling scenarios to ponder. It would also have meant he shot a frankly unbelievable 30 on the back nine and come off the course with the kind of torrid momentum that would have to rattle the seemingly unshakeable leader, at least a little.
But let's temper the recency bias just a bit with a few relevant facts:
—Scheffler shot a 69, one under, which was one of exactly two under par rounds in the entire field (shout out Emiliano Grillo who somehow found a 67 out there.)
—He shot a 32 on the back nine, best of the field, and the list of players who broke par on that brutal inward nine is three names long—Scheffler, Clark and Sahith Theegala.
—The USGA upped the green speed, the wind blew (though maybe not as much as the gleeful amateur meteorologists were predicting), dust was in the air, and the list of players under par dwindled from ten to three.

The scientists have been right about climate change all along, says former Vice President Al Gore on the 20th anniversary of the release of "An Inconvenient Truth," the Oscar-winning documentary about Gore's campaign to educate people about climate change.
When asked by ABC News chief meteorologist and chief climate correspondent Ginger Zee whether the film and its predictions on global warming hold up, Gore responded, "Unfortunately, yes."
"The scientists were dead right on all the important elements of it, and it really is insane that we are continuing to use the sky as an open sewer and we're trapping so much heat every day it's equal to the amount that would be released by 800,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every day on the earth," Gore said during an interview with ABC News at his family farm in Tennessee.
Solar generates more energy than coal in US for 1st time: Report
In a review of key claims by the documentary, ABC News found that the majority of the scientific observations made in "An Inconvenient Truth" have come to fruition or are on track to in the years to come. The last 11 years -- from 2015 to 2025 -- have been the hottest on record, according to scientific data from NOAA and the Copernicus Climate Change Service and summarized in a report released earlier this year by the World Meteorological Organization.

What to know about the predictions for a potentially record-breaking El Nino

Seasonal models are predicting an El Nino climate pattern that could be the strongest on record, bringing with it more extreme weather.
“I think we’re going to see weather events that we’ve never seen in modern history before,” WFLA-TV Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist Jeff Berardelli, in Tampa, Florida, said Friday.
An El Nino event is expected to develop from the middle of this year, impacting global temperature and rainfall patterns, according to the World Meteorological Organization. While the models indicate that this may be a strong event, the WMO cautioned that the models also have a harder time making accurate forecasts in the spring.
El Nino is a cyclical and natural warming of patches of the equatorial Pacific that then alters the world’s weather patterns. Its counterpart, La Nina, is marked by waters that are cooler than average.
Berardelli said an El Nino event essentially redistributes heat on Earth. Currently, the subsurface heat in the Pacific is moving east across the ocean and ascending to the surface from the deep waters, the initial stages of El Nino.

'Icequakes' possible across Midwest. What is the loud phenomenon?

Locals across the Midwest, particularly in Greater Chicago, may hear a sudden "boom" over the weekend – the result of what meteorologists call a frost quake, a weather phenomenon that takes place when temperatures plummet and groundwater freezes quickly.
More than 210 million people in the United States are under cold weather advisories, as a major winter storm is forecast to spread heavy snow, sleet and dangerous ice across at least two dozen states starting on Friday, Jan. 23, and continuing into the weekend.

Minnesota’s largest city was briefly colder than Mars last month.
A late-November cold snap in Minneapolis sent temperatures tumbling 10 degrees below the historical average, AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Lada explained.
High temperatures were in the mid-to-upper 20s, marking the coldest stretch for the city’s nearly 430,000 residents since February.
But on the Red Planet, some 225 million miles away, NASA’s Curiosity rover measured daytime highs of around 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
However, conditions changed dramatically after sunset.
