Mini Project - Write-Up For Weather Forecasting NV

This document discusses a student project to develop a weather forecasting application. It describes collecting weather data from open sources to predict weather using indices like temperature, humidity, and dew point. The application will allow people to access accurate weather information. Future work could expand it into a mobile app to provide timely notifications of weather conditions based on user location.

Title: Weather Forecasting


Team Members: Nishika Pal (2212000140077), Vani Bansal (2212000140120)
Mentor: Mr. Deepak Kumar
Objective / Aim of the Project: People can get accurate weather information is the main aim
of this application.
Expected Outcome: Develop a weather forecasting application on which people can
completely rely for their weather updates.
Description (in approximately 500 words): Weather prediction is the application of
technology to predict the action of the atmosphere for a given location. It is becoming
increasingly vital for business, agriculturists, farmers, disaster management and related
organizations to understand the natural phenomena. The art of weather prediction began with
using the reoccurring astronomical and meteorological events to help them to monitor the
seasonal changes in the weather. Throughout these centuries, this attempt is made to produce
forecasts based on weather changes and personal observations. Weather prediction has been
one of the most interesting domains.
The scientists are been trying to forecast the meteorological data using a big set of methods,
some of them more accurate than others. Weather forecasting is an essential application in
meteorology and has been one of the most scientifically challenging problems around the
world. Weather condition is a state of atmosphere at given time and the weather parameters
are temperature, humidity, and wind speed. The accuracy of the prediction depends on
knowledge of prevailing weather condition over large areas. Weather is the non-linear and
dynamic process as it varies day to day even minute to minute; the big challenge of weather
is data intensive and the frenzied nature.
Weather forecasting means predicting the weather and telling how the weather changes with
change in time. Change in weather occurs due to movement or transfer of energy. Many
meteorological patterns and features like anticyclones, depressions, thunderstorms, hurricanes
and tornadoes occur due to the physical transfer of heat and moisture by convective process.
Clouds are formed by evaporation of water vapour. As the water cycle keeps on evolving the
water content in the clouds increases which in turn leads to precipitation.
It is also possible to identify the different types of cloud associated with different patterns of
weather. These patterns help in predicting the weather forecast. We are always with or around
a weather forecast; we always carry it with us and never want to be away from it.
Weather forecasting is one of the prominent topics that have influenced people’s lives and
activities over a long time. It is a kind of scientific activity, contributing to the social and
economic welfare in many sections of the society.
Weather forecasts are issued to protect life and property, save life and tell us what changes to
except in the atmosphere. They provide vital information to a wide range of categories:
agriculture, aviation, commerce, marine, advisories, etc. Forecasting can also significantly
influence decision and policymaking, construction planning, productivity and environmental
risk management. People can also know and be aware of atmospheric changes through
variables such as temperature, wind speed and direction, cloudiness and precipitation.
Methodology: In a developing country and an economy like India where major population is
dependent on agriculture, weather conditions play an important and vital role in economic
growth of the overall nation. So, weather prediction should be more precise and accurate.
Weather parameters are collected from the open source. The data used in this project is of the
years 2013-2019. The programming language used is ‘Python’.
The weather is predicted using various indices like temperature, humidity and dew-point.
Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness, generally measured using thermometer.
Units of temperature most frequently used are Celsius and Fahrenheit. We have used
maximum and minimum temperature values along with normal temperature as different index
values for prediction of the weather.
Humidity is the quantity of water vapour present in the atmosphere. It is a relative quantity.
Dew point is the temperature of the atmosphere (which varies according to pressure and
humidity) below which water droplets begin to condense and dew is formed.

Future Scope: The website we created in this project can be further developed into a mobile
application so that it can give timely weather updates. These updates will be received in the
form of notification in the user’s mobile based on the location they are present in. So the
users don’t even have to get into that particular application to know the weather and it saves
their valuable time.
