Smart Weather Forecasting System
Technologies Used:
-
Backend: PHP / Java / Node.js
-
Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript
-
ML Tools: Python, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy
-
APIs: OpenWeatherMap API / NOAA data
-
Database: MySQL / MongoDB
-
Visualization: Chart.js, Google Charts
Project Objective:
To develop a web-based system that accurately forecasts weather conditions like temperature, humidity, rainfall, and air pressure using historical data, APIs, and machine learning models. The app displays real-time and predictive weather insights for users.
Key Features:
-
Real-Time Weather Updates:
Fetch current weather data using public APIs and display it in a user-friendly format. -
Weather Forecasting using ML:
Train ML models on historical weather data to predict weather for the next 1 to 7 days. -
City/Location-Based Search:
Users can check the weather for any city or region using geolocation or manual input. -
Graphical Weather Visualization:
Line graphs and charts for temperature trends, humidity levels, and rainfall forecasts. -
Weather Alerts Module:
Notify users about extreme weather conditions like storms, heatwaves, or heavy rain. -
Admin Panel:
Admins can upload additional datasets, verify forecast accuracy, and manage city info.
Data Sources & Inputs:
-
Real-time data via OpenWeatherMap API
-
Historical weather datasets from:
-
Kaggle (e.g., 10 years of weather data)
-
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
-
-
Features:
-
Date
-
Temperature (min/max)
-
Humidity
-
Wind Speed
-
Pressure
-
Rainfall
-
Weather condition (clear, cloudy, storm, etc.)
-
How It Works:
-
Data Collection:
Historical data is collected and cleaned for ML training. -
Model Training:
Regression models (like Linear Regression, LSTM, or Random Forest) predict weather values. -
API Integration:
Real-time weather API data is fetched and merged with ML outputs. -
Frontend Interface:
Responsive web interface displays both real-time and forecasted data with charts. -
Admin Analysis:
Historical accuracy comparison and system performance tracking through admin tools.
