What you'll learn
- On 2 March 2026 the Deutscher Wetterdienst put AICON, a global machine-learning weather model running at 13 km resolution, into full operational use.
- Ten months earlier, in May 2025, the Met Office had moved its operational production onto a cloud-based supercomputing service supplied by Microsoft under a ten-year managed-service contract valued at £1.034 billion, and France estimates the cost of renewing Météo-France’s computing capacity over 2025–2033 at €415 million.
- These are the visible signs of a technological transition in European meteorology, and they invite a simple reading: better models and more computing mean better military weather support.
