Abstract

Rainfall forecasting is very challenging due to its uncertain nature and dynamic climate change. It's always been a challenging task for meteorologists. In various papers for rainfall prediction, different Data Mining and Machine Learning (ML) techniques have been used. These techniques show better predictive accuracy. A deep learning approach has been used in this study to analyze the rainfall data of the Karnataka Subdivision. Three deep learning methods have been used for prediction such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) - Feed Forward Neural Network, Simple Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) optimized RNN Technique. In this paper, a comparative study of these three techniques for monthly rainfall prediction has been given and the prediction performance of these three techniques has been evaluated using the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE%) and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE%). The results show that the LSTM Model shows better performance as compared to ANN and RNN for Prediction. The LSTM model shows better performance with mini-mum Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE%) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE%).
