摘要

This paper presents a machine learning–based framework for forecasting southwest Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR). Ten climate predictors are preprocessed to remove anomalies, and rainfall is modeled using support vector regression (SVR), multiple linear regression (MLR), and ridge regression within an n-length sliding window approach. The analysis covers ISMR deviations from the seasonal mean during 1991–2019 across 36 meteorological subdivisions, seven homogeneous regions, and the national level. Results show that SVR and MLR models outperform ridge regression, achieving Pearson correlation coefficients up to 0.82 at the national level and 0.83 in regional analysis, with performance improvements of 5.7–12.7%. The proposed methodology demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating multiple climate parameters with sliding window strategies, contributing to more accurate regional and national monsoon forecasts and supporting agricultural planning and disaster preparedness.
