About
This dataset is designed for predicting weather conditions, specifically whether it will rain in Seattle. It provides daily weather observations, including precipitation levels, maximum and minimum temperatures, and wind speed, which can be used to forecast outcomes such as drizzle, rain, sun, snow, or fog. It serves as a valuable resource for developing and evaluating weather prediction models.
Columns
- date: Records the date in YYYY-MM-DD format, covering a period from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2015. There are 1461 valid entries.
- precipitation: Represents all forms of water falling on the land surface and open water bodies (rain, sleet, snow, hail, or drizzle). Values range from 0.00 to 55.90, with a mean of 3.03. There are 1461 valid entries.
- temp_max: Indicates the maximum daily temperature. Values range from -1.60 to 35.60, with a mean of 16.4. There are 1461 valid entries.
- temp_min: Indicates the minimum daily temperature. Values range from -7.10 to 18.30, with a mean of 8.23. There are 1461 valid entries.
- wind: Represents the daily wind speed. Values range from 0.40 to 9.50, with a mean of 3.24. There are 1461 valid entries.
- weather: This is the target variable, indicating the actual weather condition for the day, which can be drizzle, rain, sun, snow, or fog. Rain and sun are the most common conditions, each accounting for 44% of the observations. There are 1461 valid entries.
