This dataset contains daily weather observations from numerous Australian weather stations.
Date---The date of observation
Location---The common name of the location of the weather station
MinTemp---The minimum temperature in degrees celsius
MaxTemp---The maximum temperature in degrees celsius
Rainfall---The amount of rainfall recorded for the day in mm
Evaporation---The so-called Class A pan evaporation (mm) in the 24 hours to 9am
Sunshine---The number of hours of bright sunshine in the day.
WindGustDir---The direction of the strongest wind gust in the 24 hours to midnight
WindGustSpeed---The speed (km/h) of the strongest wind gust in the 24 hours to midnight
WindDir9am---Direction of the wind at 9am
WindDir3pm---Direction of the wind at 3pm
WindSpeed9am---Wind speed (km/hr) averaged over 10 minutes prior to 9am
WindSpeed3pm---Wind speed (km/hr) averaged over 10 minutes prior to 3pm
Humidity9am---Humidity (percent) at 9am
Humidity3pm---Humidity (percent) at 3pm
Pressure9am---Atmospheric pressure (hpa) reduced to mean sea level at 9am
Pressure3pm---Atmospheric pressure (hpa) reduced to mean sea level at 3pm
Cloud9am---Fraction of sky obscured by cloud at 9am. This is measured in "oktas", which are a unit of eigths. It records how many eigths of the sky are obscured by cloud. A 0 measure indicates completely clear sky whilst an 8 indicates that it is completely overcast.
Cloud3pm---Fraction of sky obscured by cloud (in "oktas": eighths) at 3pm. See Cload9am for a description of the values
Temp9am---Temperature (degrees C) at 9am
Temp3pm---Temperature (degrees C) at 3pm
RainToday---Boolean: 1 if precipitation (mm) in the 24 hours to 9am exceeds 1mm, otherwise 0
RISK_MM---The amount of next day rain in mm. Used to create response variable RainTomorrow. A kind of measure of the "risk".
RainTomorrow---The target variable. Did it rain tomorrow? References This total dataset is taken from following kaggle reference.
