project's available resources, including time, budget, and manpower, is conducted.
Features are prioritized based on their alignment with these constraints to ensure efficient
utilization of resources.

Compatibility Evaluation: Features are analyzed for compatibility with different web
browsers and devices. Prioritization is given to those features that can be seamlessly
implemented across various platforms, addressing compatibility constraints.

Data Availability Review: For features dependent on real-time data, an assessment of


data availability and reliability is performed. Features are selected with consideration of
the constraints related to data access, ensuring the availability of accurate and timely
information.

Security Constraints: Features are closely examined to ensure they adhere to security
constraints and best practices. Priority is given to those features that can be implemented
securely, safeguarding user data and privacy.

`

Accessibility Assessment: An evaluation is conducted to confirm that selected features


meet accessibility constraints, ensuring that the app is usable by individuals with
disabilities and aligns with accessibility standards.

Regulatory Compliance: Features are reviewed for compliance with relevant


regulations, such as data privacy laws or weather reporting standards. Features that align
with these constraints are prioritized to ensure legal compliance.

Scalability Considerations: Each feature is assessed for its impact on the app's
scalability. Features are selected with scalability constraints in mind, ensuring that they
can handle potential growth in users and data volume.

Usability Analysis: Features are evaluated based on their impact on usability. Priority is
given to those features that enhance the overall user experience and maintain an intuitive
interface, addressing usability constraints.

Feedback Loop Establishment: A feedback loop is established to continuously assess


feature performance and gather user input for necessary adjustments. This iterative
process ensures that features align with user expectations and constraints throughout
development.

By systematically analyzing features within the context of technical feasibility, resource


allocation, compatibility, data availability, security, accessibility, regulatory compliance,
scalability, usability, and feedback, the development team can make informed decisions
about which features to prioritize and implement in the Weather Prediction App. This
process ensures that the selected features align with the project's goals while addressing
potential challenges and constraints.

3.5 System Requirements To know the detailed system requirements an SRS has
to be prepared. Software requirement specification abbreviated as SRS is a means of
translating the idea of files into a formal document. The main features of SRS include:
• Establishing the basis for an agreement between the client and the developer.
• Producing a reference for validation of the final product. SRS assist clients in
determining if the software meets their requirements.
Mainly there are six requirements which an SRS must satisfy
(a) It should specify the external behaviour.
(b) It should specify the constraints.
(c) It should be easy to change.
(d) It should be a reference tool.
(e) It should record throughout the lifecycle.
(f) It should have the capacity to expect an undesired event.

Functional Requirements
Functional requirements are the requirements that describe the functionalities of the
system elements. It may involve Functional user requirements or Functional system
requirements. For example: The operator shall be able to input the region to the system
to view the desired weather parameters. The system shall provide the following
weather parameters: temperature, pressure, wind speed & direction, rainfall, and
humidity.

3.6 Design Requirements


The main objectives of input design are:
(a) Controlling the amount of input.
(b) Keeping the process simple.
(c) The best thing in the input design is to achieve all the objectives mentioned in the
simplest manner possible.
The main objectives of output design are:
(a) Identifying the specific outputs. The primary goal of the system analysis is to
improve the efficiency of the existing system. For that the study of specification
of the requirements is very essential. For the development of the new system, a
preliminary survey of the existing system will be conducted. Investigation done
whether the upgradation of the system into an application program could solve the
problems and eradicate the inefficiency of the existing system

3.5 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM (DFD)


A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data through
an information system, modelling its process aspects. Often they are a preliminary step
used to create an overview of the system which can later be elaborated. DFDs can also
be used for the visualization of data processing (structured design).

A DFD shows what kinds of information will be input into and output from the
system, where the data will come from and go to, and where the data will be stored. It
does not show information about the timing of processes, or information about whether
processes will operate in sequence or in parallel (which is shown on a

A DFD shows what kinds of information will be input into and output from the
system, where the data will come from and go to, and where the data will be stored. It
does not show information about the timing of processes, or information about whether
processes will operate in sequence or in parallel (which is shown on a flowchart)

3.6. DESIGN APPROACH


Model-View-Controller
MVC is an application design model comprised of three interconnected parts.
They include the
➢ Model (data),
➢ View (user interface).
➢ Controller (processes that handle input).
➢ Commonly used for developing modern user interfaces.
➢ It is provides the fundamental pieces for designing a programs for web applications
It works well with object-oriented programming, since the different models,
views, and controllers can be treated as objects and reused within an
application.

RESULTS ANALYSIS AND VALIDATION

4.1 Implementation of Solution

Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component with the intent to find
whether it satisfies the specified requirement or not. Testing is executing a system in
order to identify any gaps, errors, or missing requirements in contrary to the actual
requirements. Systems should not be tested as a single, monolithic unit. The testing
process should therefore proceed in the stages where testing is carried out
incrementally in conjunction with system implementation. Errors in program
components may come to light at a later stage of the testing process. The process is
therefore an iterative one with information being fed back from later stage to
earlier parts of the process. Following Testings were done during the course of
our project.

Unit testing focuses verification efforts on the smaller unit of software design. Using the
detailed design description as a guide, important control paths are tested to
uncover errors within the boundary of the module. The relative complexity of the test
and the error detected as a result is limited by the constraint scope established for
unit testing. The unit test is always white box oriented, and the step can be
conducted in parallel for multiple modules
• Tested individual python file by debugging and using print statement.
• Individual Component rendering.

4.2 Integration Testing

With unit testing the modules may function properly, but at times they may have
inadvertent affect on another, sub function when combined, may not produce the
desired functions; individually acceptable impression may be signed to unacceptable
levels then global data structure may present problems. Integration testing is a
systematic technique for constructing the program structure while at the same time
conducting tests to uncover errors associated with interfacing. The objective is to take
unit tested modules and build a program structure that has been dictated by the design.

4.3 Operating System

Platform Independent: Since the project is done completely in HTML, CSS and
JavaScript, it also executes the main properties of the language. The application is
platform-independent.

4.4 Languages used

HTML

The HyperText Markup Language or HTML is the standard markup language for
documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies
such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript. Web
browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render
the documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page
semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document.

CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a style sheet language which is used to
describe the look and formatting of a document written in markup language. It provides
an additional feature to HTML. It is generally used with HTML to change the style of
web pages and user interfaces. It can also be used with any kind of XML documents
including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is used along with HTML and JavaScript in
most websites to create user interfaces for web applications and user interfaces for many
mobile applications.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a dynamic computer programming language. It is lightweight and most


commonly used as a part of web pages, whose implementations allow client-side script to
interact with the user and make dynamic pages. It is an interpreted programming
language with object-oriented capabilities.
JavaScript was first known as LiveScript, but Netscape changed its name to JavaScript,
possibly because of the excitement being generated by Java. JavaScript made its first
appearance in Netscape 2.0 in 1995 with the name LiveScript. The general-purpose core
of the language has been embedded in Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other web
browsers.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

5.1 CONCLUSION

This research suggests and proposes an efficient and accurate weather prediction and
forecasting model using linear regression concept. This concept is a part of machine
learning. It is a very efficient weather prediction model and using the entities
temperature, humidity and pressure, it can be used to make reliable weather
predictions. This model also facilitates decision making in day to day life. It can yield
even better results when applied to cleaner and larger datasets. Pre- processing of the
datasets is effective in the prediction as unprocessed data can also affect the efficiency
of the model.

Now a day’s there is a big demand of different types of applications, which is because
IT has become the main part of our New World. There is a big need of different
applications. People want application for every specific task from work to
entertainment. We have developed the application “Weather WebApp” which
works easy on any given web browser. The application has been tested and found
to be working as per the given criteria. It can be safely concluded that the
application possesses a highly efficient UI system and is working properly and
meeting to all the requirements of the user. The application gives the user maximum
flexibility in the types of touch and other device movements.

In summary, weather forecasts are increasingly accurate and useful, and their benefits
extend widely across the economy. While much has been accomplished in improving weather
forecasts, there remains much room for improvement. The forecasting community is working
closely with multiple stakeholders to ensure that forecasts and warnings meet their
specific needs. Simultaneously, they are developing new technologies and
observational networks that can enhance forecaster skill and the value of their
services to their users.

48
`

5.2 FUTURE SCOPE

Opportunities exist for increasing forecast skill at all time ranges. However, realizing
these opportunities will require further research, close international cooperation and
coordination, improved observations of the atmosphere, ocean, and land surface, and
the incorporation of these observations into numerical models. Also, benefit will be
derived from higher spatial resolution of numerical models; increasingly powerful
supercomputers; wider use and improvement of model ensembles; the development of
data mining and visualization methods that enable forecasters to make better use of
model guidance; and collaborative forecast development activities among operational
forecasters and researchers.Beyond improving the forecast itself, improvement in the
communication and best use of forecast information is also needed. Research
integratingsocial science is key in identifying opportunities for future advances. For
example, research conducted by social scientists across multiple disciplines has found
that delivering weather warnings across multiple media increases the likelihood that
people will get and act upon this information. Scholars have conducted numerous
studies on different public groups about perceptions of risk and uncertainty. They are
also working to explore the relative value of effective communication of accurate
weather forecasts to appropriate decision-makers. Collaborative research with social
scientists will also enable forecasters to codify best practices in forecasting
philosophy, communication, and training amidst rapid technological change. An
increase in the presence and use of social media is contributing to additional avenues
for providing weather information and collecting real-time observations.

Scope of Weather Prediction

• Our system will only provide weather prediction of All the countries and state.
• Prediction will be done based on current weather activities like based on
present temperature, wind, etc.

Future Enhancement

• Our system does have weather information for foreign countries or cities.
• Addition of new cities weather dataset to predict there future weather also.
• Addition of new Indices.
