Rainfall Prediction Abstract
Abstract
Predicting rainfall is important for weather forecasting and disaster management. Traditional
weather models can be complex and slow, so this project uses machine learning to make rainfall
predictions more accurate and efficient. By analyzing past weather patterns, machine learning
models can identify trends and predict future rainfall based on different weather conditions.
We use a dataset with weather details like temperature, humidity, wind speed, air pressure, and
cloud cover. Before training the models, we clean the data by handling missing values, removing
outliers, and scaling the features. Since some weather conditions occur less frequently, we balance
the dataset using a technique called oversampling to ensure fair model training.
For prediction, we use different machine learning models like Logistic Regression, Support Vector
Machine (SVM), and XGBoost. The dataset is divided into training and testing sets to evaluate model
performance. We apply feature scaling to ensure that all weather parameters contribute equally to
the predictions. Model performance is measured using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to
find the most reliable model.
The goal of this project is to build a machine learning model that can accurately predict rainfall. By
comparing different models, we determine the most effective one for rainfall forecasting. This project
shows how machine learning can help in weather forecasting, reduce manual errors, and provide
more reliable predictions. In the future, this approach can be extended to real-time weather
prediction systems, helping meteorologists and the general public prepare for changing weather
conditions.
