A study and analysis on nowcasting: Forms of precipitation using improvised random forest classifier

Weather forecasting is the utilization of science and technology to foresee the conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time. Weather forecasting is under high priority since it helps to settle future climate changes and provide information on critical weather conditions. As the weather has a great impact on various aspects of human life, aquatic life, aviation industry, and others, efforts have been made for decades to improve the efficiency of weather forecasting to ensure a better life and to reduce economic loss, but the result is not much precise than expected. The present research focuses on improving the efficiency of weather forecasting, focusing on various forms of precipitation such as rain, snow, hail storms, and snowflakes by making use of historical numerical weather datasets across the globe. The efficiency in terms of performance measures has been compared with existing models.
