Abstract: Weather forecasting is an
important application in meteorology and has been one of the most
scientifically and technologically challenging problems around the world. In
this paper, we investigate the use of data mining techniques in forecasting
maximum temperature, rainfall, evaporation and wind speed. Weather
prediction approaches are challenged by complex weather phenomena with limited
observations and past data. Weather phenomena have many parameters that are
impossible to enumerate and measure. Increasing development on communication
systems enabled weather forecast expert systems to integrate and share
resources and thus hybrid system has emerged. Even though these improvements on
weather forecast, these expert systems can’t be fully reliable since weather
forecast is main problem.
