Pakistan Farmers Weather & Earthquake Forecasting System is an enterprise-grade machine learning solution designed to predict earthquake occurrences based on weather parameters across 345 locations in Pakistan. Developed as an academic research project by Muhammad Affan (23FA-003-SE) and Muhammad Saim (22FA-070-SE) at the University of Information Technology, this system analyzes over 2 million records from the Weather Across Pakistan Dataset on Kaggle to provide accurate, location-specific earthquake predictions with 74.1% accuracy.
The system bridges the critical gap between meteorological data and seismic activity, enabling farmers in seismically active regions of Pakistan to make data-driven decisions for crop planning, infrastructure protection, and disaster preparedness.
- 2,014,557 weather records analyzed across Pakistan
- 345 Pakistani cities and locations covered
- 10 weather parameters monitored daily
- 74.1% prediction accuracy (XGBoost)
- 100% precision for earthquake predictions

Data Collection
- Historical weather and earthquake data from 345 Pakistani locations
- 10 weather parameters, 2M+ records
- Zero missing values - production-ready quality
-
Exploratory Analysis
- Statistical summaries and visualizations
- Regional climate pattern identification
- Correlation analysis between weather and earthquakes
- Outlier detection in northern areas
-
Feature Engineering
- Temporal features: Year, Month, Day extraction
- Label encoding for 345 Pakistani cities
- Earthquake magnitude binarization (threshold >3.0)
- Event type encoding
-
Imbalance Handling
- SMOTE oversampling technique
- Class distribution: 59.8% → 50% balanced
- Validation of synthetic samples
-
Feature Selection
- Mutual information scoring
- Random Forest feature importance
- PCA dimensionality reduction
- Identification of 'events' as key predictor
-
Model Development
- Logistic Regression (baseline)
- Random Forest (ensemble)
- XGBoost (gradient boosting)
- 5-fold cross-validation
-
Evaluation & Optimization
- Accuracy: 67.4% → 74.1%
- Precision improvements
- Memory optimization (153MB → 45MB model)
- Inference speed optimization
- 'events' column is the strongest predictor of earthquakes (MI score: 0.252, RF importance: 0.374)
- Temperature features show moderate predictive power (importance: 0.08-0.15)
- Strong correlation between max_temp and feels_like (0.96) - heat index works well
- Precipitation data is highly right-skewed (skewness=1.0) - most areas arid
- Northern areas (Abbottabad) receive 5x more rain than Southern Punjab
- XGBoost outperforms other models with 74.1% accuracy
- Perfect precision (100%) for earthquake predictions - no false alarms
- Zero missing values in dataset - exceptional data quality

Q: Can I use this for commercial purposes?
A: Yes, under the MIT license, you can use, modify, and distribute this software for commercial purposes.
Q: How do I add new locations?
A: You would need to retrain the model with data from new locations added to the dataset.
Q: Why is the earthquake threshold set to 3.0?
A: Magnitude 3.0 is typically the threshold for felt earthquakes. Below this, earthquakes are usually not noticeable.
Q: How often should I retrain the model?
A: For best performance, retrain annually with new data or when significant new seismic events occur.
Q: Can I use this for real-time prediction?
A: Yes, the model can be integrated with real-time weather APIs for live predictions.
