Rainfall is important for agricultural yield and hence early prediction is required. It has a vital role in the improving the economy of a country. Accurate and timely weather prediction for rainfall forecasting has been one of the most challenging problems around the world as it changes the physical characteristics of the hydrologic system. Rainfall prediction model involves observation of weather data, deriving knowledge from it and implementing using computer models. The proposed work observed rainfall during south-west monsoon months of Mumbai (Latitude 19.0760°N / Longitude 72.8777°E) city. Predictive Apriori Algorithm was used to derive association rules for spot prediction, 24 hours ahead prediction and 48 hours ahead prediction, also to estimate a no rain day, moderate rain day and heavy rain day.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
