Weather forecasting using teleconnections

A computer system for weather prediction, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories for execution by at least one of the one or more processors to cause the computer system to:
• program instructions to receive a first weather event associated with a first location;
• program instructions to input the first weather event into a machine learning model, the machine learning model having been trained via mapping historical weather data into a latent space and via identifying, in the latent space, climate teleconnections amongst historical weather events at various locations;
• and
• program instructions to receive from the machine learning model a weather prediction for a second location, the weather prediction being based on a predicted climate teleconnection between the first location and the second location with respect to the first weather event, wherein the machine learning model maps the first weather event into latent code for the latent space in order to generate the weather prediction for the second location.

A computer program product using a computing device for weather prediction, comprising:

• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, the program instructions, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, by a computing device, a first weather event associated with a first location;
• inputting, by the computing device, the first weather event into a machine learning model, the machine learning model having been trained via mapping historical weather data into a latent space and via identifying, in the latent space, climate teleconnections amongst historical weather events at various locations;
• and
• receiving, by the computing device from the machine learning model, a weather prediction for a second location, the weather prediction being based on a predicted climate teleconnection between the first location and the second location with respect to the first weather event, wherein the machine learning model maps the first weather event into latent code for the latent space in order to generate the weather prediction for the second location.
