Weather Prediction using Machine Learning

Predict the weather conditions of a day in NYC or other large cities using various machine learning algorithms. Observe the accuracy of each model in all categories of weather conditions. Prediction is split into 5 categories:

• Sky - Clear vs Cloudy
• Rain
• Thunderstorm
• Snow
• Fog - Mist and Haze included

This split allows the models to be properly fitted to a single feature rather than overextending themselves too thin.

Prediction requires four input values from the user:

• Date to predict
• Current Temperature
• Current Pressure
• Current Wind Direction

This four gives the best accuracy across all models tested. Any less or more increases the error of the predictions.

Models were trained on data from: https://www.kaggle.com/selfishgene/historical-hourly-weather-data?select=weather_description.csv.

Model is currently trained on NYC but can be easily swapped with other cities from the dataset.
