Time Series Analysis of Climatic Change

This book explores the importance of accurate rainfall forecasting for water resource management agriculture and disaster preparedness. It presents a comparative analysis of two forecasting models-Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Seasonal Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA)-using historical rainfall data from 2008 to 2021 to predict trends from 2022 to 2026. Through statistical and visualization techniques such as trend analysis moving averages box plots heatmaps Z-scores and density plots the study identifies patterns and anomalies in rainfall data. While both models show good predictive ability SVR demonstrates superior performance especially in capturing complex non-linear patterns. The book highlights the advantages of integrating machine learning methods with traditional statistical tools to improve rainfall forecasting and support data-driven decisions in agriculture environmental planning and climate resilience.
