Abstract— Rainfall forecasting is a single ofdifficult and

unpredictable undertakings that has a major influence on human
society. Predictions that are accurate and timely can help to avert
human and financial loss. This study contains a series of
experiments that include the utilisation ofbasic machine learning
techniques to build Weather forecasting models that estimate
whether it will rain in major cities tomorrow based on the day's
meteorological data.This comparative research looks at three
aspects of modelling inputs, modelling methodologies, and pre-
processing procedures.The findings demonstrate how different
machine learning systems perform on a range of assessment
parameters, as well as their capacity to forecast rainfall using
weather data analysis. Agriculture is crucial to India's survival.
The importance of rainfall in agriculture cannot be overstated.
Rainfall forecasting has been a key problem in recent years.

B. Data Pre-processing
In this study, we're investigating weather forecasting. The
main objective of the research is to apply machine learning to
predict rainfall with high accuracy and precision. As a
consequence, the research contains and analyses the source
data during the pre-processing phase, and then uses this data
during the stimulating or processing phase to forecast the
output in an effective and efficient manner. For statistics,
Erbil, Nicosia, and Famagusta's metrological departments
were consulted. The information from the various
meteorological departments is collected once a year, as this
study will also look at earlier rainfall predictions.Important
rainfall elements are included in the data. Temperatures, wind
direction, prevailing winds, barometric pressure, and moisture
are all taken into account. For Erbil, Cyprus, and Famagusta,
each precipitation parameter is investigated separately. The
statistical data gathered in this study will be used to translate
the result into a rainfall forecast. Machine-learning algorithms
are used to process the data.

D. Machine Learning Algorithms

Inside this model, we apply a variety of algorithms that are
extremely effective for identifying rainfall forecast and
supporting us in reaching the correct classification result for
the data in the provided data set.We use routinessuch as
random forest, regression models, decision tree, and neural
network.

 VI. CONCLUSION

Rainfall is among nature's most importantoccurrences that has an

impact on all living creatures, not just humans. Because of
shiftingChanges in climate conditions and rainfall cycles are
occurring, as well as the earth's temperature rising.However, a
system that predicts rainfall using artificial intelligence and neural
networks could help solve these problems and meet demand, which
is already common in modern technology, is necessary. The study's
purpose was to create a machine-learning-based prediction method
that could correctly and effectively estimate monthly rainfall with
the least amount of error.The research looked at rainfall data from a
variety of locations as well as different Machine Learning methods
including randomized forest and support vector. To evaluate and
