Physics-informed GNNs improve extreme rainfall forecasts in Thailand

Researchers have developed a novel physics-informed Graph Neural Network (GNN) model combined with extreme-value analysis to enhance long-range extreme rainfall forecasting in Thailand. The model utilizes a graph-structured representation of weather stations and incorporates teleconnections, which are climate indices that influence regional rainfall. This approach, employing an Attention-LSTM architecture and a Spatial Season-aware Generalized Pareto Distribution method for extreme events, demonstrated superior performance compared to existing baselines and the operational SEAS5 system, offering practical improvements for water management decisions.
