A urban heat island (UHI) is an urban region
or territory that is fundamentally hotter than its
encompassing rural zones because of man practices. The
UHI can be explained as either the surface temperature
difference or air temperature difference between the
urban and the rural regions. The project is based on the
study of “Urban Heat Island prediction using ANN”
grounded on the values of various test results done on an
individual technique. The technique used for this project
is the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm and
Time Series analysis to correctly predict a region as
urban heat island. The data of six weather stations (WS)
was collected each having 12929 instances to determine
whether a particular region forms UHI or not. The ANN
model was implemented on all the six weather stations
and after examining the ANN model, the two weather
stations WS4 and WS6 proved out to be the best in terms
of correlation between dependent and independent
variable that was evaluated using MAE and R2 score.
The two weather stations WS6 and WS4 having R2 score
or accuracy as 79.6 and 79.3 respectively was further
chosen for time series analysis. In time series analysis, we
just have one variable i.e., time. We can analysis the time
series data in order to extract meaningful insights and
other features. Time series is a set of observation taken
at specified times at equal interval.
