At first blush, AI seems to be fantastic for weather prediction:

1. Hugely chaotic model, which means deterministic prediction is extremely expensive, and accurate prediction more so.

2. Certain trends seem to dominate the observed time period, hence the field of meteorology.>

3. AI can clue you in as to which trends seem to be most likely to dominate, or if uncertainty is too high to predict, without the investment of major labor costs.

While I'm not sure what the market offers, I can say that if the demand-side seems unsatisfied this is the perfect place for a state-operated solution to enter: a zero-margin service where quality in the long-term is demanded over short-term profits.

EDIT: just clarifying terms

EDIT2: Meteorology -> meteorology
