This study aims to predict daily rainfall in Surabaya using TabNet, a deep learning model for tabular data, based on radiosonde atmospheric parameters and official BMKG rainfall data. The radiosonde data include LI, KI, TT, CAPE, SWEAT, and SI measured at 00.00 and 12.00, while daily rainfall data were collected from a local station. All data were pre-processed to handle missing values, normalized, and used to construct relevant features for modeling. The dataset was divided into training and testing sets, and the TabNet model was trained to capture non-linear relationships between atmospheric parameters and rainfall. Model performance was evaluated using RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and R², achieving 6.58 mm, 3.14 mm, 17.69%, and 0.54, respectively, indicating good predictive ability. The predicted monthly rainfall for 2025 reflects seasonal patterns consistent with Surabaya’s tropical climate, with higher rainfall at the beginning and end of the year and lower values in mid-year months. The results demonstrate that TabNet can effectively capture seasonal rainfall trends, providing practical benefits for flood mitigation planning, water resource management, and early warning systems. This study highlights the potential of combining radiosonde data and deep learning for accurate rainfall prediction in tropical regions.
