# Rain Detection using Machine Learning

🌧️ **Predict whether it will rain tomorrow using weather data**

This project implements a **machine learning model** to forecast rainfall based on historical meteorological data. Using daily weather observations (e.g., humidity, cloud cover, past rainfall), the model predicts the likelihood of rain the following day.

## πŸ“Œ Key Features
- **Classification model** (e.g., Logistic Regression, Random Forest, or Neural Networks)
- **Dataset**: Publicly available weather data from **Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology**
- **Preprocessing**: Handles missing data, feature engineering, and normalization
- **Evaluation**: Compares model accuracy against traditional forecasting methods

## πŸš€ Applications
- **Agriculture**: Helps farmers plan irrigation and harvesting
- **Disaster Management**: Early warning for floods or droughts
- **Urban Planning**: Improves water resource management

## πŸ“‚ Dataset
The dataset includes:
- **Atmospheric conditions** (humidity, pressure, temperature)
- **Cloud cover & wind speed**
- **Historical rainfall records**
- **other factors**

πŸ”— **Source**: [Bureau of Meteorology (Australia)](http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/)

## πŸ› οΈ Setup & Usage
1. Clone the repo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rain_detection_ML.git
```
2. Run the Jupyter notebook for training & evaluation:
```bash
jupyter notebook rain_prediction_model.ipynb
```

## πŸ“Š Results
- Model achieves **85.54% accuracy** (varies by algorithm)
- Feature importance analysis reveals key weather indicators

🀝 **Contributions welcome!** Open to optimizations, new models, or expanded datasets.
