AI-Powered Weather Forecasting for Meteorological Services

Environment and Climate Change Canada is exploring the use of artificial intelligence models — including GraphCast, ForecastNet, and AIFS — to improve the accuracy and efficiency of weather forecasts produced by the Meteorological Service of Canada. The system affects both government employees who rely on these forecasts in their work and the general public who use MSC weather services. A key transparency point is that AI integration is guided by a published AI Roadmap (2023) that sets out the planned path through 2030, though the models themselves are still under active exploration.
