Artificial intelligence is making it easier to predict the formation and, above all, the course of hurricanes and other tropical storms that hit the coasts of the US in particular. Extremely fast and already relatively effective systems are now showing promising results.

Major names in tech like the US firms Google and Nvidia, and China’s Huawei, are working on developing new AI-powered weather models. These are currently being tested during the hurricane season, which takes place from May to November, with peak activity generally observed from August to October, depending on the region.
