Pros and cons of methodologies.

Serial No:	Methodology	Pros	Cons
1.	Empirical Methods
	a. SSM	Greater accuracy	Data is easily unavailable as most meteorological stations don't have Sunshine hours recording facility.
	b. MSSM	Best Accuracy among Empirical Models	Data is easily unavailable as most meteorological stations don't have Sunshine hours recording facility.
	c. NSM	The data is readily available as most stations record the required climatic parameters.	Have lower accuracy than MSSM and NSM
2.	AI Methods
	a. Single AI models	Easy to develop models as they don't require sophisticated programming knowledge.	Has accuracy lower than Hybrid models
	b. Hybrid AI Models	Accuracy higher than Single AI models	Has the best accuracy among all methods.
