Abstract:

 Weather forecasting is a challenging task for the Government and the general public throughout the world. Literature survey shows that the soft computing techniques play better role in predicting the weather at a particular region than the traditional mathematical or statistical methods. Nowa- days the data mining and soft computing techniques have attained the most position in research for predicting accurate weather. This paper depicts a comparison between the 3 different soft computing techniques like J48 Decision Tree, Support Vector machine and Multi Layer Perceptions (MLP) in weather forecasting. Time series data of Delhi is collected for 5 years and fed to the 3 models. After training to the 3 models, results were compared and it was concluded that the performance of J48 decision tree is consistently better.
