New M$^2$Weather benchmark enhances joint multi-station and multi-variable weather forecasting

Researchers have introduced M$^2$Weather, a new benchmark designed to improve joint multi-station and multi-variable weather forecasting. This benchmark addresses the limitations of existing studies that often analyze spatial dependencies and physical couplings separately. M$^2$Weather utilizes high-quality data from 2,809 stations across France, Europe, and globally, incorporating five key weather variables. The framework also includes unified training and evaluation protocols, along with a novel adapter that can introduce missing station or variable relationships without full model retraining, demonstrating significant improvements in forecasting accuracy. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could lead to more accurate weather predictions by better modeling complex spatial and variable relationships.

    M$^2$Weather: A Benchmark for Joint Multi-Station and Multi-Variable Weather Forecasting

    arXiv:2610.00370v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Station weather forecasting is fundamentally shaped by both complex spatial dependencies across stations and strong physical coupling among weather variables. However, existing studies often consider these relationships separately…
