Weather Data Prediction: Exploring Tools for Future Forecasting

This report focuses on the prediction of weather data using predictive tools. The assignment utilizes historical weather data, including solar intensity, precipitation, wind direction, and wind speed from the past two years, to forecast future weather patterns. The report identifies and analyzes two key tools: IBM SPSS Statistics and IBM SPSS Modeler. IBM SPSS Statistics is highlighted for its capabilities in regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and overall data analysis, essential for understanding weather trends and making predictions. IBM SPSS Modeler is presented as a powerful platform for data scientists, offering graphical insights and support for various machine learning techniques such as regression analysis and clustering. The report explains how these tools can be used to predict specific weather elements like heat intensity, wind speed, and precipitation. The report also highlights the accuracy and advantages of each tool in providing meaningful insights for weather forecasting.

Predictive analytics is one of the categories of data analysis that focuses on predicting future outcomes
using historical data. Data analytics are applied such as machine learning and modelling play a
fundamental role in predicting the future. Predictive analytics can produce meaning insights with
noteworthiness accuracy. With the help of predictive analytics tool and techniques of modelling, a
Company, an organisation or anyone can use the previous and the current data to predict the future.
The following aspects can be predicted using the current and previous data: weather data, the
population, the profit in an organisation, etc.
We can access the information on weather data for the last two years. The information that can be
obtained is wind direction, precipitation, solar intensity, wind speed, etc. for October. These are the
information that is used for the prediction.
They are several predictive tools that can be used to predict the trends of the weather. Some of the
tools are purchased, and some can be obtained by freely downloading them from the internet. They
provide a wide range of predictive techniques. The following are the predictive tools that can be used to
predict the weather data:
1. IBM SPSS Statistics
IBM SPSS Statistics is one of the leading statistical software in the world. It can be used in a variety of
fields to solve different problems. Some of the fields that use IBM SPSS Statistics, e.g. business and
research fields. Predicting weather data can be achieved using IBM SPSS Statistics because it also offers
predictive analytics. Predicting the weather data using regression analysis can be achieved by also
testing the hypothesis, and this is made possible using IBM SPSS Statistics. Many organisation uses IBM
SPSS Statistics to understand their data, analyse the trend of their data, forecast and to provide an
accurate conclusion (IBM Australia).
2. IBM SPSS Modeler
IBM SPSS Modeler is one of the powerful analytics software in the world. It is a platform used by data
scientist to produce graphical insight into the data and also to do predictive analysis. It is designed
specifically for the users of all skills level who wish to deploy insights at –scale to improve their business.
One can use it to handle most of the machine learning techniques including text analytics, kmeans,
clustering, regression analysis, decision tree etc. The techniques that can be used to predict the weather
data is regression analysis and clustering. These techniques can be done in IBM SPSS Modeler because it
supports these predictive techniques. Therefore, if one wants to predict the heat intensity and wind
speed, then he or she can conduct a regression analysis in IBM SPSS Modeler. Similarly, if one wants to
classify and predict precipitation using the precious data, then he or she can use the clustering
technique. One advantage of IBM SPSS Modeler is that it has a higher level of accuracy (IBM Australia).
