A super El Niño is forming. Can AI weather models provide insights on these anomalous climate events?
AI climate forecasting is an emerging applied domain, but this item is research commentary rather than actionable policy or governance material for APS readers.
Key points
- Alan Turing Institute blog explores whether AI weather models can improve predictions of anomalous climate events like El Niño.
- The piece argues AI forecasting combined with expert knowledge could extend prediction ranges for extreme climate events.
- Limited direct relevance to APS AI governance work; this is applied AI research rather than policy or practice guidance.

A blog post from the Alan Turing Institute considers whether AI-based weather models can provide better insights into anomalous and extreme climate events such as a forming super El Niño. The piece argues that AI forecasting, when combined with domain expertise and real-world climate context, could extend the range and accuracy of climate predictions. The item is research commentary rather than a policy or governance development, and is primarily of interest to those working at the intersection of AI and climate science.
