Data Preprocessing
Overview
Data preprocessing is a critical step in any machine learning project. It involves
cleaning and transforming raw data into a format that can be effectively utilized
by machine learning algorithms. In this project, the dataset consists of historical
weather data, including features such as temperature, humidity, and pressure.
Implementation
The data preprocessing is handled in the load_and_preprocess_data function.
The following steps are performed:
Loading the Dataset: The dataset is loaded using Pandas, and the 'Date' column
is parsed as datetime and set as the index.
Feature Selection: Only relevant features (Temperature, Humidity, and
Pressure) are selected for the model.
Scaling the Data: The features are scaled to a range of 0 to 1 using
MinMaxScaler from Scikit-learn to ensure that all input values are within a
similar range, which aids in model convergence.
Code:
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
def load_and_preprocess_data(file_path):
data = pd.read_csv(file_path, parse_dates=['Date'], index_col='Date')
features = ['Temperature', 'Humidity', 'Pressure']
data = data[features]
scaler = MinMaxScaler(feature_range=(0, 1))
scaled_data = scaler.fit_transform(data)
return scaled_data, scaler

Model Training
Overview
The heart of the project is the training of the LSTM model, which is designed to
learn from sequential data. LSTM networks are particularly well-suited for
time-series forecasting due to their ability to remember past information.
Implementation
The model training occurs in the train_model function. The process includes:
Dataset Preparation: The data is transformed into a suitable format for LSTM by
creating time-series sequences.
Model Architecture: The LSTM model is constructed using Keras, consisting of
two LSTM layers followed by dense layers.
Model Compilation and Training: The model is compiled with the Adam
optimizer and mean squared error loss function, and trained using early stopping
to prevent overfitting.
Code:
import numpy as np
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import LSTM, Dense
from tensorflow.keras.callbacks import EarlyStopping
4
Forecast Generation
Overview
Once the model is trained, it can be used to generate future weather forecasts.
The generate_forecast function handles this by taking the last observed data and
predicting future values.
Implementation
The forecast generation process involves:
Input Preparation: The last sequences of data are used to make predictions.
Forecast Loop: The model predicts the next value, updates the input with the
new prediction, and repeats the process for the desired forecast length.
Code:
import numpy as np
