The weather has long been tied to military and national security interests. Now it's primed to emerge as another flashpoint in the US-China rivalry. On how Trump's return gives China a shot at being the next weather superpower, w/ Lauren Rosenthal: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

From 2013–2023, China increased its spending on "weather diplomacy" by nearly 500%. Now, Trump's return could mean funding slashes for climate & meteorological work–and create an opening for China to take the weather superpower crown. W/ Lauren Rosenthal: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Weather agencies in the US and Europe have been using commercial data for years, now China's following suit, writes Mary Hui trib.al/iGXzyL9

China's weather agency has started using data from commercial satellites for the first time, years after US & Europe started doing the same. It "is a game-changer for operational weather forecasting,” says Jonathan Chui of Macau-based startup Knoweather. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

This year, watches have been added to the list of prohibited items for HK Four Trails Ultra participants. "Too much reliance on technology. Course map on the watch and watch beeping when going off course. Wanted to go back to the roots.” - race director Andre Blumberg

China’s state weather agency met last week to discuss using DeepSeek, the local startup whose artificial intelligence model shook global markets last month, to power its forecasts and observations: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

China’s meteorological agency is considering using DeepSeek to help power its predictions, but striving for weather innovation could run into national security risks, writes Mary Hui trib.al/c0aNScU

China is delving into the realm of AI to help bolster its weather forecasting clout, but it’s facing the dilemma of balancing national security priorities with being at meteorology’s cutting-edge. 🎁🔗 bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Forecasters are always weighing demands for certainty vs. inherently uncertain (& increasingly volatile) weather. Threading that needle is crucial for forecasters' public comms— not least for something as important as El Niño & La Niña. W/ Brian K. Sullivan bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

"The latest development signals the end of Hong Kong’s long rise as a global force in ports that started with a single dock," writes Richard Frost: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

US scientists are looking to the private sector & abroad for jobs amid NOAA cuts. China is well positioned to take advantage: it aims to recruit 100 top experts from around the world by 2035 to tackle “key, core technical chokepoints” in the weather domain bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

The next frontier of forecasting will go beyond traditional weather data as forecasters, aided by new AI techniques, turn to non-weather inputs to help predict emerging weather risks and volatile climate patterns. With joe wertz; 🎁🔗: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

This whimsical and irreverent piece I wrote in 2019 has a pretty long tail huh

For decades, public agencies have run global weather models that require supercomputers to crunch complex equations to spit out predictions. Now, AI is opening space for smaller, commercial players to provide super granular & specialist forecasts: 🎁🔗 bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Traditional weather models struggle with street-level forecasts. AI is looking to change that. 🔗: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Maps and charts remain overwhelmingly two-dimensional, even though the atmosphere operates across three dimensions, and that presents limitations, writes @MaryHui bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

🧵Just had 50 internship applications and am half way through meeting eight of them, having given talks at most local journalism schools in recent years. 💡In no particular order, here are my tips if you want to get into journalism in Hong Kong, slanted somewhat towards what we

Nevertheless, weather predictions are imperfect and every forecast contains an element of uncertainty. In that vein, meteorologists like to quote the 20th century statistician George Box: “All models are wrong but some are useful.” bloomberg.com/explainers/ai-…
