If you are interested in analysing weather data and making predictions such as rainfall, storm, etc., then Mathematica<\/strong><\/em> has nice functionality that you can use. In this article, let me cover a few basic functions in this category.<\/p>\n

Let us start by getting the coordinates of the place for which we wish to get the Weather data.<\/p>\n

\"Getting<\/a>
Getting Location Coordinates<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although we can get the weather data using the above coordinates directly, we can also find out the weather stations near the location and use those.<\/p>\n

\"Locating<\/a>
Locating Weather Stations<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is another way:<\/p>\n

\"Another<\/a>
Another Way to Get Weather Stations<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The last command above returns the 3 \u201cnearest\u201d<\/strong><\/em> weather stations close to the coordinates.<\/p>\n

Now that we have the coordinates and the weather station names, we can easily get the current weather data.<\/p>\n

\"Current<\/a>
Current Weather Data<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like the above properties, we can get data for \u201cVisibility\u201d<\/strong><\/em>, \u201cPressure\u201d<\/strong><\/em>, \u201cWindSpeed\u201d<\/strong><\/em>, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as we can get the \u201ccurrent\u201d<\/strong><\/em> weather data, there is another interesting function called \u201cWeatherForecastData[]\u201d<\/strong><\/em> for forecasting the weather for 1 week starting \u201ctoday\u201d<\/strong><\/em>. The following gives \u201cTemperature\u201d<\/strong><\/em> data for the next week.<\/p>\n

\"Forcasting<\/a>
Forcasting Temperature<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Similarly, we can get 1 week\u2019s forecast for \u201cHumidity\u201d<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"Forecasting<\/a>
Forecasting Humidity<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Instead of a Table<\/strong><\/em>, we can represent as a graph as well:<\/p>\n

\"Plot<\/a>
Plot of Humidity<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, if you choose to, you can even render it on a map:<\/p>\n

\"Rendering<\/a>
Rendering as Map<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Isn\u2019t it nice?<\/p>\n

How can we use the Weather data (including forecast) for predicting rainfall, storm, etc? Obviously, we need a good, proven model that is based on the fundamental weather parameters, seasonality, altitude, etc. Such a model can then be implemented in Mathematica<\/strong><\/em> and used for prediction.<\/p>\n

You can download the Mathematica<\/strong><\/em> notebook here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
