WeatherNext is an automated, experimental AI forecasting system under active research. Predictions and model outputs are provided "as-is" for informational and research purposes and do not constitute official weather forecasts, watches, or warnings. Users are responsible for their use of the data and model outputs. For the protection of life and property, never rely on WeatherNext as a sole source of information and always defer to official alerts and advisories from your local emergency authorities and national meteorological services.
By accessing this platform, querying forecast datasets, or deploying WeatherNext models, you agree to the applicable terms of service below.
