A machine learning–powered rainfall prediction system for Nigeria featuring interactive weather visualization, 7-day forecasts, and a Streamlit dashboard. # Nigeria Rainfall Prediction Dashboard (ML-Powered) An interactive, machine-learning–driven rainfall prediction system for Nigeria featuring real-time weather insights, 7-day forecasts, climate analytics, and a modern Streamlit dashboard UI. Built by **Mayowa Oluyole**. --- ## Project Overview This project provides an end-to-end weather and rainfall prediction solution for Nigeria. It combines: - Synthetic nationwide weather data (2000–2024) - Machine learning (Random Forest) for next-day rainfall prediction - Interactive climate visualizations - A polished Streamlit dashboard with: - State-specific weather view - Weekly temperature & rainfall trend - 7-day forecast (with icons, precipitation bars, and summaries) - ML-powered rain-tomorrow probability - Downloadable forecast outputs This project is designed for **portfolio demonstration**, machine-learning practice, and real-world dashboard development. --- ## Machine Learning Model **Model:** RandomForestClassifier **Target:** Will it rain tomorrow? (`RainTomorrow`) **Features used:** - rainfall_mm - temp_min - temp_max - temp_avg - humidity - wind_speed - pressure - sunshine_hours - month - dayofyear The final trained model (`rainfall_rf_model.pkl`) is loaded in the Streamlit app. --- ## Dashboard Features ### **1. State Weather Overview** - Current temperature - Humidity, pressure, wind speed - Rain probability - Weather condition summary ### **2. Weekly Climate Trends** - Average temperatures - Daily rainfall bars - Combined dual-axis chart ### **3. ML Rain Prediction** - User inputs weather variables - Model outputs probability of rain tomorrow - Scaler applied for preprocessing ### **4. 7-Day Forecast** - Daily icons (sunny, cloudy, rainy) - Min/max temperature - Predicted precipitation - Probability bars - Summary of weekly rain expectations ### **5. National Snapshot** - Monthly rainfall averages - Interactive line plots --- ## Dataset Synthetic Nigerian weather dataset (2000–2024):
