Short summary
This paper presents an improvement on the conventional ARIMA model for precipitation time-series forecast. The precipitation time series of 12 months is first classified into several clusters. The maxima, minima, and truncation means of each cluster are then predicted using the improved ARIMA models, which are further used to predict the monthly precipitation through a set of regression models. A case study demonstrates that the present approach could increase the forecast accuracy by 21%.
