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.
