Two weather data sets namely, a thirty year and a ten year, archived by the Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology of Australia were used. The aim is to predict : - The occurance of rainfall - The average depth of rainfall in mm - To predict whether there will be drizzle, shower, thunderstorm, or rain.
