Data Visualization of Climate Patterns in Indonesia Using Python and Looker Studio Dashboard: A Visual Data Mining Approach

Abstract

Climate has a significant impact on the lives of Indonesian people. Information about climate patterns, when presented visually and interactively, can greatly enhance understanding of climate conditions in Indonesia. This study aims to produce a visualization of climate pattern data in Indonesia that can be accessed online by the general public, serving as a valuable resource for climate information. The study highlights the ability to display historical trends for a 10-year period (2010-2020) through interactive visuals, which load information according to user-defined filters, enabling diverse presentations of data. The research employs the Visual Data Mining method, encompassing Project Planning, Data Preparation, and Data Analysis phases. Additionally, Exploratory Data Analysis techniques were utilized in the data analysis phase. The data was cleaned and processed using the Python programming language with libraries such as pandas, numpy, seaborn, and matplotlib. Visualizations were created using Looker Studio tools and published on a website, providing accessible climate pattern information in Indonesia via the Internet. The final results of this research indicate that the developed climate visualization dashboard successfully delivers detailed insights into sunlight duration, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind speed across various Indonesian regions. Users can effectively monitor climate trends and weather changes. The dashboard also demonstrates significant seasonal variations and differences in climate patterns between provinces. Performance metrics reveal that the dashboard meets Key Performance Indicators, achieving a click-through ratio of 40.1%, the average page position in search engines is 4.8 top positions, and receiving positive user experience scores. Further development and research on the Climate Pattern Dashboard in Indonesia still have room for enhancement. Important aspects include expanding data coverage to include multiple decades for observing significant climate patterns and applying sophisticated prediction methods like machine learning algorithms for future climate change projections.
