WeatherNext 3 · Based on sources through 6 Sept 2026
WeatherNext 3 adds live satellite inputs and hourly forecasts, with selected surface variables on a 5 km grid. Google describes rollout into its weather services and developer data channels. Model capabilities, local forecast performance and your access to the data remain separate questions.
Conditions and open questions
The 5 km grid does not cover every variable; others use 10 or 25 km. A finer grid does not imply an equal improvement in accuracy. We checked the official description, not forecast performance, regional rollout or account access.
What to check next
Look for performance in specific regions and weather conditions, alongside access requirements for the variables you need.
