Resumen
Rainfall forecasting is one of the most challenging factors of weather forecasting all over the planet. Due to climate change, Thailand has experienced extreme weather events, including prolonged lacks of and heavy rainfall. Accurate rainfall forecasting is crucial for Thailand?s agricultural sector. Agriculture depends on rainfall water, which is important for water resources, adversity management, and overall socio-economic development. Artificial intelligence techniques (AITs) have shown remarkable precision in rainfall forecasting in the past two decades. AITs may accurately forecast rainfall by identifying hidden patterns from past weather data features. This research investigates and reviews the most recent AITs focused on advanced machine learning (ML), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and deep learning (DL) utilized for rainfall forecasting. For this investigation, academic articles from credible online search libraries published between 2000 and 2022 are analyzed. The authors focus on Thailand and the worldwide applications of AITs for rainfall forecasting and determine the best methods for Thailand. This will assist academics in analyzing the most recent work on rainfall forecasting, with a particular emphasis on AITs, but it will also serve as a benchmark for future comparisons. The investigation concludes that hybrid models combining ANNs with wavelet transformation and bootstrapping can improve the current accuracy of rainfall forecasting in Thailand.
