China leads AI weather forecasting as extreme weather intensifies, Fengwu predicts typhoon within 30 minutes
China has emerged as a leader in AI weather forecasting with models like Fengwu, Huawei Pangu, and Fuxi delivering predictions in minutes rather than hours. During Typhoon Dolphin, Fengwu predicted landfall within 30 minutes and 30 km five days in advance. While these AI-driven systems match or surpass traditional numerical weather prediction on speed and cost-efficiency, they still lag in predicting storm intensity and remain untested for long-term climate events.
