Google DeepMind Helped National Hurricane Center More Accurately Predict the Historic Landfall of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica
In October 2025, Hurricane Melissa became the strongest hurricane ever to hit Jamaica. Thanks to Google DeepMind's AI model WeatherNext, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecasted for the first time that the storm would intensify from Category 1 to Category 5 five days before landfall. This enabled early evacuations and saved lives.
