Citation: Dueben, P., Bauer, P., Fuhrer, O., Koldunov, N., & Kristiansen, J. (2026). Machine learning is revolutionizing weather forecasting – the next step is a change in how we work. arXiv preprint arXiv:2606.25076v1.
Key Takeaways:

• A Shift in the Forecasting Value Chain: While machine learning has rapidly achieved competitive skill in weather predictions, the next critical phase is a complete evolution of working practices and operating models. This transition will fundamentally reshape how models are coded, how observational data is exploited, and how forecasts are verified and turned…
