Abstract: Rainfall prediction is very important in several aspects of our economy and can help us preventing serious natural disasters. Some areas in India are economically dependent on rainfall as agriculture is primary occupation of many states. This helps to identify crops patterns and correct management of water resources for the crops. For this, linear and non-linear models are commonly used for seasonal rainfall prediction. Few algorithms used for rainfall prediction are CART, Genetic Algorithms and SVM, these are computer aided rule-based algorithms. In this paper, we performed qualitative analysis using few classification algorithms like Support vector machines (SVM), Artificial Neural Networks, Logistic regression. Dataset used for this classification application is taken from hydrological department of Rajasthan. Overall, we analyze that algorithm which is feasible to be used in order to qualitatively predict rainfall.
