Brief
This is a learning competition. Aside from knowledge, there is no monetary prize at stake. Weather forecasting is challenging and complex as it involves observing and processing lots of data. The weather has a significant impact on the agricultural industry and because of that, being able to predict it helps farmers in their day-to-day decisions such as how to plan efficiently, minimize costs and maximize yields. Problem Statement: A major agricultural company needs you to help them maximize growth efficiency, save resources and optimize their production. To achieve these things, the company needs to have an accurate weather prediction algorithm which will improve their decision making on typical farming activities such as planting and irrigating. Using historical weather information from their region, can you predict what the weather will be in the next few days? This is a beginner-level practice competition and your goal is to predict the next day’s weather (N: No rain L: Light rain H: Heavy rain) using the prior day’s weather data.

Data Breakdown
The goal of this competition is to predict the next day’s weather (N: No rain L: Light rain H: Heavy rain) using the prior day’s weather data. In order to build your machine learning model, we have provided the following data sets: There are 2 datasets for this competition, train datasets and test datasets. Both datasets have weather data for region A through region E. These region datasets can be joined with the solution file using the 'date' column. Your goal is to build the algorithm(s) that predicts the "label" in the solution_format.csv. Please note that all the values in the solution_format.csv are dummy values. *All "dates" are anonymized. **The submission file should follow the same format as the example file (solution_format.csv). Submissions are evaluated on accuracy (that is, 'Number of correct predictions / Total Number of predictions). NOTE: You may submit a solution file up to 3 times a day.
