Pandas 2.0 has greatly decreased the runtime performance of WOMBAT due to significantly slower indexing and search. Initial tests confirm that Polars is significantly faster at the exact operations required in the simulation, and so it'd be beneficial to convert the weather dataframe, specifically. Below is an example of extracting a single row from the weather profile in both pandas and polars.
