The results demonstrate that QML models can achieve reasonable accuracy in both prediction and classification tasks, particularly in binary classification. However, challenges such as quantum hardware limitations and noise affect scalability and generalization. This research provides insights into the feasibility of QML for weather prediction, paving the way for further exploration of hybrid quantum-classical frameworks to enhance meteorological forecasting.

Weather forecasting plays a critical role across various sectors, supporting strategic planning and reducing the impact of hazardous climatic conditions. However, the inherently chaotic and nonlinear nature of atmospheric systems limits the performance of conventional forecasting approaches, often resulting in prediction inaccuracies and heightened risk. This study proposes a quantum-driven predictive framework that exploits the computational strengths of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and hybrid quantum–classical optimization to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of modern forecasting models. The framework employs Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) combined with Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) to learn complex spatial–temporal dynamics embedded within large meteorological datasets. Through quantum feature encoding, key atmospheric indicators—including temperature, humidity, wind velocity, and barometric pressure—are projected into high-dimensional Hilbert spaces, enabling more expressive pattern extraction and robust predictive behavior. Simulation results reveal that the quantum-augmented approach surpasses traditional deep learning architectures in both training convergence and forecast precision when applied to extensive weather records. The hybrid design further supports scalability by intelligently distributing computational workloads between classical processors and quantum hardware. Overall, this research demonstrates the transformative potential of quantum computing in atmospheric modeling, offering a foundation for future real-time forecasting systems capable of managing the increasing complexity of global climate patterns.
Weather forecasting is a major challenge because of the unpredictable nature of atmospheric systems and the large number of interacting variables. Although traditional machine learning models have been used for weather prediction, they cannot capture the complex, nonlinear dynamics of weather. Recently, Quantum Machine Learning (QML) shows ability to improve computational speed and pattern recognition. Its practical application in weather prediction, however, is not well exploited. This work methodically analyzes QML algorithms for predicting weather states and compares their predictive performance with that of classical machine learning. We assembled extensive hourly meteorological data for Sylhet City, Bangladesh (24.9172∘N,91.8319∘E) over 185 days from Microsoft and IBM weather sites, totaling 4,504 data points. The dataset combines the main atmospheric parameters as temperature, real feel temperature, humidity, precipitation probability, visibility, dew point, and air pressure, from Microsoft and IBM weather sites. Four QML algorithms, including Quantum Random Forest (QRF), Quantum Decision Tree (QDT), Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM), and Quantum Neural Network (QNN) are trained and tested for five weather state classification, and compared to their classical counterparts named SVM, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Neural Network. All quantum experiments were run on Qiskit simulators due to current hardware limitations. Results show that classical models performed slightly better than quantum models, and the difference was not very large.
Global challenge of climate change demands precise predictive models to grasp its effects and create sensible mitigating plans. Based on classical computing methods, traditional models suffer in processing complicated climate data, which results in lower accuracy in long-term forecasts and extreme weather prediction. With its capacity to do huge parallel computations via superposition and entanglement, quantum computing offers a potential fix for improving climate models. In addition to focused on its ability to increase weather forecasting accuracy, long-term climate projections, and extreme weather event predictions, this work investigates the integration of quantum computing in climate science. Quantum-assisted climate models demonstrate better computational efficiency, higher forecast accuracy, and better resource management for mitigating techniques including sustainable agriculture, carbon capture, and solar energy deployment. However, obstacles, developments in quantum technology and multidisciplinary cooperation between climate researchers and quantum physicists are opening the path for more dependable and scalable climate solutions.
Current climate models often struggle with accuracy because they lack sufficient resolution, a limitation caused by computational constraints. This reduces the precision of weather forecasts and long-term climate predictions. To address this issue, we explored the use of quantum computing to enhance traditional machine learning (ML) models. We replaced conventional models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), and Encoder-Decoder frameworks with their quantum versions: Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNN), Quantum Multilayer Perceptrons (QMLP), and Quantum Encoder-Decoders (QED). These quantum models proved to be more accurate in predicting climate-related outcomes compared to their classical counterparts. Using the ClimSim dataset, a large collection of climate data created specifically for ML-based climate prediction, we trained and tested these quantum models. Individually, the quantum models performed better, but their performance was further improved when we combined them using a meta-ensemble approach, which merged the strengths of each model to achieve the highest accuracy overall. This study demonstrates that quantum machine learning can significantly improve the resolution and accuracy of climate simulations. The results offer new possibilities for better predicting climate trends and weather events, which could have important implications for both scientific understanding and policy-making in the face of global climate challenges.
