Hurricane Forecasting

A new spatio-temporal benchmark dataset (Hurricane), is suited for forecasting during extreme events and anomalies. The dataset is provided through the Florida Department of Revenue which provides the monthly sales revenue (2003-2020) for the tourism industry for all 67 counties of Florida which are prone to annual hurricanes. Furthermore, we aligned and joined the raw time series with the history of hurricane categories (i.e., event intensities) based on time for each county. Note that the hurricane category indicates the maximum sustained wind speed which can result in catastrophic damages as this number goes up (Category 1-6).
