The Algerian Wildfire Predictor is a machine learning project that forecasts forest fire likelihood in Algeria using environmental data. It helps predict and prevent wildfires by analyzing factors like temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
# Algerian Wildfire Predictor
## Overview
The Algerian Wildfire Predictor is a machine learning project aimed at predicting the likelihood of forest fires in Algeria based on various environmental factors. This project utilizes a dataset containing information about temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and other relevant features to train a predictive model. The trained model can then be used to provide insights into the potential occurrence of forest fires, aiding in fire prevention efforts.
## Project Structure
