The China Meteorological Administration held a press conference this morning to officially release the “Global Meteorological Development Report 2025”. The report shows that digital twin planets, artificial intelligence weather forecasting models, early warning for the entire population, financial meteorology, commercial small satellite applications, and drone detection have become the hottest topics of the year in global weather. In the field of meteorological observation, observation technology is being innovated at an accelerated pace, international cooperation on meteorological satellites continues to deepen, more commercial small satellite observations are entering the meteorological business, and the commercialization of mobile observation with drones and unmanned boats is accelerating. In the field of meteorological forecasting, Earth system forecasting shows a new trend of “physical-data” two-wheel drive. A new “end-to-end” forecasting paradigm has begun to unfold, and disaster weather forecasting and early warning extends to meteorological impact forecasting and risk assessment. In the field of meteorological services, it has been expanded from traditional weather forecasting to various fields such as climate prediction, environmental monitoring, disaster warning, and climate adaptation, and more attention has been paid to decision-making oriented meteorological services, and more attention has been paid to promoting more accurate, real-time, and intelligent meteorological services through technical means such as artificial intelligence and digital twins.
