Rainfall Prediction In Nagapattinam Using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

Rainfall plays a vital role in human life rather than other weather events. As the variations are unpredictable, it difficult to predict rainfall over a region, so that rainfall forecasting carried out by the metrological department has been most crucial and demanding one. Fuzzy logic models have been proposed to perform forecasting, and its prime operations are fuzzification and defuzzification. These models are simple to employ but offer better results than statistical models. The present study explores the strength of forecasting models based on fuzzy logic rules. Furthermore, predicted results are compared with the actual rainfall data.
